O is for Overboard

I once read a discussion about safety gear, harnesses and jack lines. It was written by a celebrated world cruiser who’s safety briefing to passengers stuck in my mind and I use it to this day. Basically and very simply, “Don’t fall off the boat”.  Tell all your guests to treat the drop to the water as if it is 30,000 feet. In a storm it may be impossible to turn around safely, let alone find you.

I think it’s amazing how many deck items, cushions, tools, glasses, shackles, pins, fenders and cups refuse to follow my warning. They disappear at random or leap from the cabin top with the smallest wind gust. I’ve even had floor mats drown right at the dock. It’s very sad.

 I’m certain it’s people like me who help keep the marine industry afloat.
