Does that include antarctica?


If you go sailing to Antartica, then I suspect that you have accepted that
you are on your own.


This thread demonstrates how modern man has no sense of responsibility for
his actions.

The boat must meet government standards, the gas installation must be
certified, the waters must be under the supervision of some rescue agency
and sailors must have a qualification.

The EPIRB must be serviced, as must the liferaft. The flares must not be
out of date, and the lifejacket must be capable of supporting 150
somethings!


Is it any wonder that any idiot who has the money feels that he can safely
take a boat out in any conditions?? ... and if anything goes wrong, he can
sue somebody!
