Cruise Control: Your Peace of Mind at Sea by Ronald Butcher is a comprehensive safety at sea guide written by someone who spent 23 years with the US Coast Guard.
Written in an entertaining and informative style, it covers a whole host of personal safety and health issues including fires at sea, water survival, what to do if someone falls overboard and bad weather.
This is no fun read and while you cannot predict what might happen, with the knowledge from this book you can be better prepared and help reduce the risk of something going wrong in the first place by taking a positive approach to safety. For example surveying an area to identify all the potential exit routes.
As well as physical safety issues, it also covers other topics such as vacation insurance, missing the boat, port substitution, cancellations, gambling, sanitation and food hygiene.
