Mayday off coast of Mexico-rescued from catamaran
"Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ... why do people abandon ship ? Injury, fatigue, hunger, thirst, hypothermia, JimB Jim, I'm sure those are reasons, but they're not particularly good reasons. You're not going to be doing better in a smaller and much more uncomfortable liferaft. Perhaps psychosis or delusion would be a better excuse. :-) You're quite right of course. Proper reasons for abandoning ship (for a life raft) are fire and uncontrollable leakage such that the vessel is about to sink. The reasons I gave above are reasons for transferring to a larger vessel, which wasn't the point of the previous poster, but is the most common type of abandonment, the one being discussed earlier in the thread.
