No safety line, no PFD, and you're probably dead on the ocean in other than
the most benign conditions.

Say a prayer for the family of Hans Horrevoets, 32, of The Netherlands.
He was a crew member aboard ABN AMRO TWO, one of the yachts competing
in the Volvo Ocean Race. He died earlier this morning after failing to
regain consciousness after being swept overboard from the boat. Sad
way to go when competing at the top of the game. I guess he wasn't
wearing a saftey line. Don't know why since it happened in the middle
of the night.
