Get it - overboard? Came close today. Not done yet .... gimmie a break. Eisboch That's a "rule 1" thing... You should have a whistle that you put around your neck whenever you are working outside around the dock and boat, whenever the water is under 55 degrees or so. I is no harder than grabbing your keys before you go out to the car. We had a lady here in Essex a couple of years back go over, by the time she swam around to the dock, she could not climb the ladder, she died. So, lash up a nice thick cotton shoelace with a whistle and wear it when you go outside. Just my opinion, that's how we do things around here. In every part of your life there are stupid things that can go wrong, some more likely than others. Although we can't prepare for everything, we do prepare for the more obvious dangers, before we get ourselves into it. We fish at night with whistles and flashlights lashed to the life jackets, we clear a path and scope out escape routes and safe areas before moving the horses, we tell everyone on our boat where the lifejackets are and make them put them on when conditions call for it, even slightly, why not, that's the point. It only takes a second to stay alive...BTW, Rule 1 is something I picked up in the Kayak forums, rule 1 is "Don't get dead!" Anyway, that is my friday night rant, on monday ![]() ![]() |
