1) Full time registered nurse! (See, I already won!)



And her field experience is? Is she as good as a Navy Corpsman?



Compared to some old corpsman, her knowledge base is up to date.
Working in emergency and critical care means she sees action all the
time...more than most corpsmen to be sure.

Wanna bet?


1) Full time registered nurse! (See, I already won!)



What if she is the one critically injured?

She has been training me as well. I am also CPR certified, as are
plenty of folks. But Suzanne has been teaching me well beyond that.

As we both are licenced MM masters we are both CPR and first aid
certified.

You have no where near Suzanne's knowledge and she's active in
emergency in critical care, applying her skills 30 hours a week.


Plus we both have fire fighting certification

Can't match you there.


2) Coastal flare kit


Well duh, We carry red and white para flares. and 15 pistol flares and
two pistols.


we have 2 horse shoe dan bouys on lines, and a lifering, not a cheap
small white one like you have on your stern. Also have a monkey fist on

75ft of line, 12ga line heaving gun, 14 man inflateable raft in hard
case, emergency fishing gear kit, water distillers, signal mirrors, LED

flashlights, .38 snubnose colt, dye markers, EPIRB, Sextant, compass,
sea anchor, canned water, carmel, solar blankets, whistles, glow
sticks, knife.

This extra gear is not needed for our sailing grounds...or yours!!!


3 here.. one dry chem, one CO2. The engine room has an auto halon
system.

Halon is too dangerous. We're using standard fireboy system.


Get suzy to get some morphine, rigs, stitching equip, antibiotics.


I said large kit. We have all of that and much more.


8) 3 Type 1 life jackets, 8 type 2 and 4 type 1


We have jackets for all aboard.


Me to! Also a Baby Bear Compound bow, Bushmaster AR15 shorty, .303, SS
410 shotgun 18" with slugs, Saber, Colt 1911, ect...

Hey, if diving in waters with sharks, what's a top pick?


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.

Unlike Doug, I'm pleased to hear that.

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

If not for the fishing accident you would have tired. It's 2nd place
for you!

Is she a certified critical care or emergency room nurse?

hmmmm?

Corpsman are first responders, just like EMT. Nurses work in clinical
settings. In the field the EMT/Corpsman has the upper hand.

Suzy can probably juggle bedpans with more alacrity!

Sorry, Doug. It's a fact. If you don't believe it, it's STILL a fact.


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


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

Not so bubbles. On a supply boat 20 miles offshore the first mate was
cut in half when a line parted on a Point Marine boat I worked on, he
was relief crew. Had a deck hand get his hand sucked into a turbo
charger and have all his fingers removed to the second knuckles about
80 mile offshore. One of Terry's crewmates had his leg crushed off
between two shrimpboats 110 miles offshore, and a deck hand have his
hand tore off in the net winch. My first boat over 100 tons that I ran
for a week with only an OS ticket we had to evac the skipper for Kidney
stones, had a deck hand break both his ankles offloading cargo at a
platform 100 mi offshore, seen 2 suicides, one a girl dove 8 stories
onto a submarine tied next to us, one baby born aboard, one killed on a
tugboat trying to pull our ship away from the pier as a line parted (de
capated) I was stabbed by a sheet of metal blown while on a crane hoist
offshore, had a Ray tail cut my leg open 11" to the femor bone in a
tropical attoll harbor, one OD, one deckhand had a heart attack in Bay
of DeCampchee, 1 lost at sea in the pacific, one major
electrocution. Terry broke her ankle boarding a crewboat once. And we
were in a major head on collision were Terry ruptured her spleen,
lacerated her kidney, broke several ribs on a river 40 miles from town.
Saw the whole crew(8) of a supplyboat that capsized die in Laguna
Madre, and a tug crew cept the cook all killed when a tow tripped in
the gulf. And a 1000 other cuts and bruises sprains and strains.

You have watched to many Jaws movies,


I have an irrational feat of sharks. It's to the point that I've not
comfortable cleaning the keel for 20 minutes here on the Sound. I've
considered doing a shark dive to get over it.

A lot of equipment but nobody with any sense to use it. Bad judgement
will always negate good equipment Rob.

Note how scumbag the sailor now just flings lame insults? Wanna know
why? He

RB, I'm not going to join the fray, but I will say this. I just did
a lot of searching on Google, and I can't find a single news item
saying they STOLE the dinghy. The stories say they TOOK a dinghy, but
that could easily mean it belonged to one of the kids. Not ONE
reference I could find called it a theft in any way. Yesterday, my wife

and I TOOK a sailboat out sailing. It was not stolen, either. What kind

of person would label them criminals for such a deadly and sad stunt,
even if they had "stolen" it? That "Dave" (Sockpuppet?) is really a
creep.

Thanks....

How about an MD?


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.

Really? Can a nurse start an IV, cardiovert, or give life-saving injections
to non-family members, legally and without medical direction? Can your
wife perform a tracheotomy? Can she perform a cut-down if she can't find a
vein? Can she order a helicopter evac? My wife is an RN, incidentally, so
you can't BS your way out of this. I also happen to know that NY's
regulations are stiffer than ours, and our nurses cannot do any of those
things without medical permission.

Is that "sage" comment going to be included in your "book?" Another reason
to ignore it.


Doug, your ignorance knows no bounds! This is NYC and the LIS. How
often do you think a 7 knot sailboat does a rescue is an area where
that are thousands of fast powerboats?

Whenever the sailboat is nearby, and/or the powerboats are hugging their
docks because the waves are more than itty-bitty.


Most people HAVE had accidents. We haven't. I suspect you have had some
accidents. Sorry about that. Maybe you've learned something by now? Oh,
yeah. You got a trawler!

You've never run aground? You've never clobbered the dock a bit hard when
docking in high wind or when the engine died? If you answer "no" to these,
I'd have to conclude that you really never do leave the dock.

Oh, I thought a "real" sailor would be impressed by a good safety
record. It must be those 80% safety records they're looking for!!!

Real sailors are impressed with accomplishments. If one never leaves the
dock, the safety record will remain impeccable, but the accomplishments nil.

Doug...with every post, so desperate to win any ground, you always
lose! It's amazing! Do you even THINK at all before you start typing?
Do you consider my motives or do you just blindly forge forward?
Sailboat rescues on the LIS, folks!!! You head it here 1st. Oh, sure we
did help out a sick woman once, but only because no other boats were
around, which is damn rare!

Try again, Doug!!! Oh, and real sailors have SAILS!

If you wish to pursue this line of reasoning, it might be reasonably
concluded that only Lin and Larry Pardey are "real sailors." They have no
auxiliary, nor have they in any of their boats which, importantly, they
built by themselves. After several circumnavigations, they've still never
seen the necessity for the added weight, expense, and loss of storage space
of including an engine.

Lin and Larry are real sailors--you're just a glorified powerboater.
Oh--one that never leaves the dock, for that matter.
