This session of the Cruisers Club Roundtable series is about Health and Safety. Our moderators for this session will be Dra. Alma Vargas and Dr. Essau Gutierrez. Dra. Alma is a well-known dermatologist in the PV area. Dr. Gutierrez is a general practitioner who is very popular in the expatriot community of Nuevo Vallarta. They will be leading discussions on topics including skin protection and care in the tropics, and dealing with medical emergencies at sea, including CPR techniques that may become critically important on the ocean.
Open to all interested cruisers, from coastal to blue water, cross-ocean cruisers, or even boaters who don't venture to faraway shores, these panels are designed to address topics of interest to a broad swath of yachtsmen. And yes, non-boaters are welcome, too!
