Neal,

Haven't you ever been in a condition at sea when it has been to damn
dangerous to be on Deck? There are times when it is necessary to get
below and wedged in and pray that the vessel will not roll 360 or Pitch
pole. What is the proper watch in that condition?

I was on a boat with 3 other people and it was necessary to "Lay a'hull"
and get every one below and let the vessel take care of us. 6hrs- plus
before any one stuck a head out. Watch keeping be damned
