Lifeboat Waterborne…..a little life!!

Lifeboat??what is that?

-this is it-Aman Hakata

Ehe…it’s a survival craft that driven by engine, used in distress in case of the ship sinking (worst scenario)….a lifeboat can carry the whole crew onboard ship for each!!

yeah..

I am sure..we all realize that:

Open seas is such a dangerous area..

We are open to heavy weather, to the sunlight, to the sea life (shark), drown (even to who better in swimming, don’t say that “u can swim up to thousand nautical miles to reach land...Bullshit)…

Rescue operation will not coming over you on the spot... It’s not like when you ashore accident happen, just call 999 or 911, the police and ambulance and local people will coming to give a hand.. When floating on an open sea, the rescue ops will coming in days or weeks or months (OMG I’m died…prayer is the best weapon)..but if you’re in luck, there will be other ship somewhere nearby, they will come after you…Alhamdulillah..

Attention please…nowadays seafarer are very skillful with a lot of modern shipping high technology, so don’t worry..Actually our life will be spare!!
