Man Overboard!

09.10.2007

Got off Meganissi a bit to early to go in and decided to let Gary do some manouvering practice. Normal sort of tricks, drop a fender over the side and say that was me falling in so what are you going to do about it…

Man-overboard is one of those things that you always hope won’t happen but it is definitely worth getting the crew up to scratch on it just in case.

It is also worth going through the options for retrieving the casualty, as well as the manouvering to get back to them. Picking up a fender with the boat-hook is one, thing getting a 70Kg crew-member back aboard isn’t as easy.

Let him do it a few times using the engine and then did it myself under sail a couple of times just to keep my hand in.
