sailing: man overboard

[mainemike]

these guys are misfiring on a cple fronts, not the least of which is the poor balance/effort/result of the wet guy. it all seems pretty manageable and harmless, but switch the circumstances a bit and this could have been tragic. ex: offshore, no other boats around, big swells, and this quaalude crew could easily have been minus 1.

Good thing they weren't crossing Gulf Stream.

wow.

so much fail there. it's been about 10 years since i was into boat stuff, but would someone care to tally the safety infractions there?

i sat on the edge of my seat waiting to see who was going to fall over. i was guessing it was going to be the dude in the shorts bent over with a large section of exposed lower back.

also, i couldn't tell, was the dude who fell over wearing a life jacket? perhaps one of those ones built into the jacket he was wearing?
