The Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) has become an essential part of our on-board first aid inventory, and is the single most important piece of equipment for the emergency treatment of patients suffering from cardiac arrest. Considering the volume of pedestrians and vehicular traffic outside our front door, the off-the-beach sailing and paddling at our back door, and the sometimes strenuous in-water training our members undertake off our pontoon, we are currently seeking a grant to obtain another AED to be kept on the base at the Spit.
