Weather conditions and impact on life raft occupants
« on: 18 October 2022 01:15:06 pm »
I hope with the help of forum members to get an insight into the impact that weather conditions would have on survivors who spent 12hrs in a Carley life raft in the English Channel in July 1944.

The RN rescue report gives the following information:

Wind NE force 4-5
Sea and swell 32
Sky overcast
Visibility-poor

Occupants were taking turns of being in the water for hours then sitting on the raft.

As always grateful for the help and advice of forum members.
