Default Interesting Advice on the NHBSE Site

If you have a fire on your boat do the following according to the NHBSE:

"Position the boat so that the fire is downwind.
If the fire is at the back of the boat, head into the wind. If the engine must be shut off, use a paddle to keep the bow into the wind."

Then kiss your ass goodbye as the fire progresses towards you...

Maybe they should add "JUMP OFF THE BOAT" before you it blows up!
