You really should take1st aid/AED training if given the chance.

You really should take1st aid/AED training if given the chance.

I am a certified first aid instructor with St John Ambulance. Even at work, production ALL production staff take first aid; office staff can't seem to find the time to take a free course that would help them help others. And they are farmers so it's no as if nothing would happen to them. At work there is 3 identified AED locations and there's one at most arenas in town.

In this story, however, the AED was on a private(?) sailboat. Unless location trackers were embedded into the battery or pads, how would you know where a mobile AED was? I'm also not sure privately purchased AED information should be made public as you would have to be quite wealthy to own and maintain one. A better idea, to me, is have them installed and maintained in public spaces and businesses who volunteer to have them accessible.
