Safety

All of us have had hands on training in cold water safety. Deployment of the life raft, sending off flares, using survival suits and so on. There is specific first aid kit for this trip. We had consults from Doctors, nurses, on how to behave in an emergency, and use the safety and first aid gear.

Healer

SV Healer is a sturdy oceangoing home. It is Swan 44 built in 1998. There are two heads, a galley with a freezer and fridge. There is a Volvo engine that provides propulsion and charges the batteries. Electrical is critical for that and for communication and navigation.
