[Audio] Mariners should always try to board the liferaft in a dry condition, but this may only be safely achieved within an approximate distance of 2 meters. Should survivors attempt to enter the liferaft from any greater distance than this, serious damage could be sustained by the liferaft or there could be possible injury to the person boarding or to other occupants already inside. If it is impossible to board in a dry condition, survivors should enter the water ahead of the liferaft. Movement towards the survival craft should be steady and easy. Everyone should avoid swimming and the unecessary loss of energy incurred by the use of leg muscles. BOARDING A SURVIVAL CRAFT (LIFEBOAT AND LIFERAFT) FROM WATER WHILE WEARING A LIFEJACKET Once in contact with the liferaft, do not let go but proceed towards one of the entrances by means of the bucketed lifeline. Make full use of the inflated step and/or boarding ladder to heave yourself over the bouyancy chambers to get into the liferaft interior..
