How did the writer and his company face of the storm

1.	How did the writer and his company face of the storm
Answer» In order to face the approaching storm the narrator, his family and the crew took the following measures: they slowed down the speed, the crew dropped the storm jib (a small sail ); and to further slowdown the speed, the crew lashed (tied) the mooring rope around the stern of the boat. This tying of the rope around the stern increased the friction of the boat against the water, leading to the slowing down of the speed. They double lashed everything, practiced raft-drill, attached lifeline( it actually saved the author from drowning later), donned oilskins and life jackets, these were the security measures that the crew took in order to face the onslaught of the looming storm.
