Appropos of nothing whatsoever the Peace Corps, in their attempts to improve
the lot in life of the folks in American Samoa, introduced them to the
concept of 'outhouses.' In great - full thanks the Samoans named the
structures appropriately. "Pisi Corpi's" Which described the entire
situation quite well.

A little bit of modern history.

Sounds like a building appropriate for a jax.

But, most of us don't race offshore.And most of don't have boats equipped to
offshore specs. And, there was one recent example of a noted racer on the
East Coast, who got coshed on the head by a spinnaker pole, went overboard
and drowned, in spite of those all-important lifelines.There was talk
afterwards about requiring auto pfds but nothing mentioned about modifying
lifelines.


We use auto-inflating pfd's when working on the trawl decks. Go
overside (or down the ramp) into water at -1.5C and you'll curl up from
shock and sink before we could get you back. With an auto-inflating
pfd, there's some chance of getting back alive.

The pfd's we use also have a built in harness with lift point so you
can clip onto a wire safety line and also be picked up by crane,
chopper etc if you're unconscious without any unnecessary delay.

Nobody except Arctic fishermen work in the conditions at sea that we do.

Hey Nutsy,

I've been known to crawl on the Fore Deck but I've found it to be much
better to slide on my ASS using my hands and HEELS.

Hands and knees kind of limits your visablity and balance

Any way you can keep yourself on board is the correct way.

you are more likely to fall overboard *either* way than if you walk on your
hands and feet, your balance as low as possible.
