How about an MD?

Several here in this group, I suspect you wouldn't even be
tied for 3rd.

As for the long list of supposed equipment, that's good but
safety is not something you can put on your credit card
(assuming you have one in real life).

Depends on what kind of MD. A nurse who works in an Emergency Room and
Critical Care is better than many types of MDs in a crisis, which I'm
sure you're aware of.

Who's the doctor aboard your powerboat?

Who said it was? I listed the gear and the fact remains that my boats
sail more often than any here, with many many guests. Most accidents
happen close to shore, often with new sailors aboard. Dockside also
sees plenty of injuries....because people FEEL safe.
100% safety record after 12 years of sailing with so many people goes a
bit beyond luck, Doug. We're careful and respect the water.

Actually that's not a "fact" but then it's fairly well
proven that you are one of those neurotic types who believe
your own BS.

Sure, it's easy to "be safe" when you never go anywhere.

OTOH if you had really spent much time on the water,
especially around a major metro area, you would have had
many occasions to help others. Most real sailors here have
participated in a rescue at one time or another.

Empty bragging about how you've never had an accident
doesn't impress people who have saved lives at sea; but then
that's just one of the many things you don't understand
about sailing.

Sure.
Your motives are to post a lot and try to get people to
answer you. Any time anybody replies, you "win."

Guess what Bubbles, you're nuts.

That comment proves how unsafe a boater your must be. The worst
accidents are close to shore, when people "feel safe."

Being at home is the most dangerous place since most accidents occur there
too.

The safest place in the solar system is either on the surface of the sun or
on Pluto since there's a 100% safety record there.

Your motives are to post a lot and try to get people to
answer you. Any time anybody replies, you "win."

Ummmm...okay...I WIN!



Guess what Bubbles, you're nuts.


News flash?
Go sailing, Doug. We're going tonight, even though we missed the best
winds of the week.

We have never had an accident on RedCloud, living aboard and sailing
full time since I bought her. Including several LD offshore racing,
fishing trips. I did have a fish hook go in at the thumbnail quick an
try to poke out on top of my thumb knuckle, but that was at the dock.

As you can see...it's easy to do better.
