#112 | Safety at Sea | How to AVOID MOB Situations

We’ve all done it, taken a quick nip onto the foredeck just do ’ that thing’ and suddenly we find ourselves realizing one wrong move and we are toast.  This episode looks to try to reconcile that kind of risk-taking to the garbage can and promote instead a deep instinctual suspicion that the sea does not actually care about you, is in no way impressed or ’wow’d’ by your skill set and will take every opportunity you give it, to wipe you off the deck of you boat if it can and off the face of the earth, if you are not able to regain the safety of the vessel quickly.  Join me for a sobering, but not necessarily melancholy look at preventing a Man overboard situation.
