How not to capsize in big waves

Don't capsize in big waves, so that you can understand the waves and choose the right boat.

1, understand waves: the size, speed and direction of waves are different. If you encounter big waves in the sea, you must first understand their situation. The size and direction of waves can be predicted by observing the surrounding sea surface and weather conditions.

2. Choose the right boat: different boats are suitable for different wave conditions. If you encounter big waves at sea, you'd better choose a relatively stable boat suitable for big waves.

3. Control speed: When encountering big waves at sea, you must control the speed of the ship. If the ship is too fast, the waves may directly overturn the ship. It is suggested to move slowly or stop sailing to keep the ship stable.

4. Keep balance: It is very important to keep balance on the boat. Do not stand or sit. It is best to lie down and reduce the area of your body exposed to the waves. At the same time, we should pay attention to keep the balance of the ship and avoid water from one side.

5. Pay attention to the wind direction: When sailing in big waves, the wind direction is also very important. If the wind direction is consistent with the wave direction, sailing will be easier; If the wind and waves are in the opposite direction, it will be more difficult to sail, and it is better to stop sailing.

6. Accept rescue: If you encounter a big wave in the sea, unfortunately fall into the water or capsize, don't panic, swim to the shore as soon as possible and send out a distress signal as much as possible. If someone is around, you can ask for help. When you are unfortunately shipwrecked at sea, you can strive for more chances of survival by bravely and actively saving yourself.

Observe the shape and size of waves.

1, the shape and size of waves can reflect the wind and direction. If the wave presents a peak, it means that the wind is strong, and if the wave presents a long undulating waveform, it means that the wind is weak. By observing the shape and size of the waves, we can preliminarily judge the wind force and direction, and then predict the size and direction of the waves.

2. Understanding the seabed topography also has a great influence on the direction and size of waves. If the seabed topography is complex and there are many shoals and reefs, the direction and size of the waves may change more. If the seabed topography is relatively flat, the direction and size of waves may be more stable.
