Prior to departing the Canary Islands, World Cruising Club partnered with the local maritime police to provide an eye opening safety demonstration of a helicopter rescue at sea. The conditions were perfect, calm, almost windless during the demonstration, yet, it was impossible to hear anything, and the wind created by the helicopter was deafening. I cannot even imagine what it would be like underway in challenging conditions with an injured crewmate, or child. Many thanks to ARC+ Yellowshirts and the Las Palmas Maritime Police.
