Lubber? Are you sure?

Yeah. You convinced me.

You must be very young, or you have somehow passed through many years and
developed little or no ability to come to conclusions which fit what you
have observed.

"She slipped and fell in the water without a life jacket."

"The water was rough," she said ..."The waves were coming over my head."

"Neither the boat's three-man crew nor those of other boats that
floated past heard her cries."

Rough water, small head, no one aware of or looking for a MOB. So, which
vessel's crew should be executed first?

I stand by my description of your attitude as uninformed, inexperienced,
and lubberly.

The captain first. The other two can draw straws.

She's a lucky lady, But IMO she was more than likely just along for the
ride, Since she fell over at night and no one noticed, Shrimpboats only
work at night in the Gulf, and ALL hands turn 2 culling the catch
between tows, No breaks, no reading, just work! At sunrise they haul the
nets, throw the hook, and lay to for the day, Then you take your break.
Don't ask me how I know, I just do, UD

I know. A family member spent 5 yrs working on a shrimper in the Gulf.

Meanwhile, the captain should've been able to keep track of 3-4 people. I
don't buy the excuses.

Oh. Bull. Aquaintance was on a 3 day out SD and guy and his son are aboard.
Guy is 450-500# fat. And drunk. Everybody is sleeping and at 2 AM son says
he can not find his dad. Not hard to seach a 75' boat for a really fat
drunk. They contact CG and retrace their route and do not find the guy. At
sunrise some sailboat finds the guy floating along, and somewhat sober.
Good shape, except for hangover. They rig a hoist off the mast to lift the
pile of blubber into the boat. Fat does float and insulate. He tried
peeing off the transom on a boat with a couple of heads. Maybe he did not
fit. You want to shoot the captain of this boat also? **** happens and not
always looking at all the crew 24/7.

Excuses for what? Not having eyes 360 degrees? Not watching one person
while he works? Not doing what no one else does during these
processes? Please, and make sure to detail this, tell us exactly what
went wrong and why you blame anyone but the lady hanging out on deck
without proper equipment? Geeze, sometimes when you are wrong it is
time to admit it or just leave it alone.
Scotty, who was not there, so will not pass judgement.
