Captain Nat

Nat always took safety seriously. So seriously that she wanted to demo how a lifejacket would inflate automatically. As she reached out to trim in the genoa for Heather, the manual trigger got caught in a clam cleat and inflated the lifejacket...Always better to be sure that your lifejacket can inflate before you fall overboard ;-)

Fortunately I carried a spare CO2 cartridge so that wasn't a problem at all.

I could barely do anything with this thing on! I couldn't see my hands before chest level!


That was much more typical of my kind of watches...Foggy, drizzly, cloudy, misty, damp, cold - overall crappy. and not even windy.



Eyes lost in the distance - oily seas...
