5.0 out of 5 stars This book might save your life - buy it now, 3 Oct 2003
I work as a GP, and have experience in anaesthetics and ITU. I'm also working up to my RYA Yachtmaster in the next few years having completed Coastal Skipper last year, and have completed the Sea Survival one day course at the Offshore centre in Fleetwood. Until I read this book (in 48hrs it was so gripping) I had not appreciated the knowledge that is contained in it. All the research has been done (several times over), but is not in the public domain, or taught anywhere that I have visited. The authors are the top Royal Navy survival experts, and are lucid and logical in their analysis and teaching of the basic reasons that people die when they come into contact with water. The concept of Cold Shock and Swim Failure are not talked about enough, eclipsed, as they say, by hypothermia. Cold water acclimation should be on the pre cruise agenda for all UK sailors. Riveting examples brought me out in a cold sweat, thinking of personal experiences. This book should be bought by every teaching establishment in the country, and used as a basis for a written exam. If you fail, you should not be instructing.
