How many of us are current in their CPR certification or has at least one member on the boat who is when you're on the water. We are not current but after reading the thread about AED's, oxygen and CPR it will be something I'll look into ASAP.
We are both certified and have completed our our Medical Officer in Charge requirements.
We just felt we had to be prepared in every way possible in the event of issues. The one thing that could destroy our love for boating would be a tragic death that might have been averted had we just had training. We carry very extensive medical kits on board.
]Anything that helps is great...but often administering CPR, AED, First aid, ...etc...etc takes additional crew as the skipper is busy with the vessel and or rescue communications..
