SAFETY TRAINING BY GG STAFF
This morning the whole GG crew met up for another rescue drill. It was not more than two weeks ago since the GG staff did it last but we decided it was time to train safety again now before entering our busiest month (July).
To practice safety is just as important for the new staff as for the ones who have worked at sea for decades. We have rescue drills regularly to keep the routines fresh in mind.
Together we went over the emergency plan, where all the safety equipment is and guides tried to steer the boat with captains instructions. We also rescued each other from the sea, practiced how to throw life rings and how to handle the hook.
Below follow some photos which better describe our safety session.

serious would happen to the captain during a tour.
