Hi Lads.
On the question of lifeboats the latest Vindi newsletter has an article from Nautilus UK Telegragh calling for action to cut the toll of seafarer deaths and injuries caused by lifeboat accidents. Hundreds of crew members have been killed or injured as a result of failure of onboard release hooks during lifeboat drill.
We were having a lifeboat drill in Sydney on a Union Steamship in 1957 when the davit collapsed, left the boat hanging by one fall, one bloke hanging on in the boat, the other having a pre dinner swim, as it was lunchtime, we didn't know whether to go for lunch or stay and book overtime ha ha.
Cheers Des
