Question

You are caught in a storm in your boat. what should you do? reduce speed and head into the waves at a 45-degree angle. lower an anchor from the stern and shut off the engine. hold onto metal objects if there is lightning. pour water into the bilge for added stability.

Answer 1

The answer is : reduce speed and head into the waves at a 45-degree angle. Navigation lights should be on and speed slowed to the minimum to maintain steering and headway. When heading to shore during a storm, the bow of the boat should approach the waves at a 45 degree angle.
