Default Mob Rules

We don't train people in every possible technique for crew recovery. We do
train them in the techniques we feel are likely to be useful in the
conditions at hand. It's kind of like the joking that goes on when there's
no wind on a warm day at slack, while we're at anchor for lunch. I ask
students what they would do if someone fell off right now... what technique
would you use to get them back in the boat. I typically get all sorts of
answers... use the halyards, break out the Lifesling... you name it. I say
no to all of it... I tell them to tell the MOB to get back in the damn boat.
