Stay Safe at Sea: The Vital Importance of Wearing Your Life Jacket Correctly
This life jacket is not a joke; it’s vital for surviving in the sea. Water is a powerful and scary force. Some people don’t take life seriously. When I see them at sea without safety measures, I don’t feel sorry for them because they don’t value their lives.
From 2020 to 2022, I traveled frequently from Akwa Ibom to Bonny Island and then to Port Harcourt via different waterways. The best time to travel by sea is in the morning, between 6 AM and 11 AM. After noon, the waves get rough, and the sea conditions become challenging. Remember, the wind strength is directly related to wave intensity.
I always made sure to wear the life jacket properly. It should fit snugly and securely. This is crucial for safety. If you don’t wear the life jacket correctly, it may not be effective in case of an accident.
