Rust is no option on a vessel - never.
Whenever something is made of metal and it is being in touch with water there is a risk of rust. We do not want rust! Our keel is made of iron and we do have to fix the rusty seam of our keel that is no longer fully sealed against the sea water SV LIMA is in.
So we have to deal with it.

Anything can happen - everywhere. So be prepared..
It is not only good seamanship but also common sense: If you are far away from a medical infrastructure you have to have the most important medical equipment with you. And you should be able to use it. In case of emergency this is potentially going to save your life and the life for your crew members.
So check out what we do to make sure we thought about as much as possible.
