Whats the most dangerious or scary situation you have been in on a
boat?

Ever issue a Mayday?


No.


Ever have a crewmember injured badly or killed?


Not really. We had a close call, once. The spinaker pole whacked our
bowman on the head. He was concussed. We were 30 miles offshore at the time
We kept him awake for about 4 hours. He really, really wanted to sleep.
but the First Aid instructions said that he should be kept awake.

After 4 hours, he began to return to normal.


Regards


Donal
