The new parker has a folding down boarding ladder permanently attached
to the exterior of the transom and is easy to use if you are already in
the water. It's not as fancy or elegant as the armstrong ladder on the
old boat, but it'll be there if I ever need it.

We got to talking after everything was over and a lot of ideas about
what to do when faced with a MOB situation were tossed around - in
particular with small boats.

It's not enough to have a boarding ladder for MOBs. You also need a
plan, even equipment, to get somebody who is with you onboard if they
are injured as a result of going over the side.

I have a few ideas myself - a couple of which involve a T-top and
leverage. I'm going to play around with it this week - stay tuned.
