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...
