Thank you for a very interesting and helpful article. When I first saw the title, I thought, "tee hee," but the substance of what you write elucidates the seriousness of this situation.

In response to man overboard posted by JenniferMiner:
this is a common thing where there are boats and people - ahem, meaning, just about all the time. you really have to be careful and watch your step, hold onto things, wear non-slip shoes (docksiders are called that for a reason, LOL)...and watch your mates who are guzzling the beers.

my dad even ended up overboard once in a thunderstorm way at sea. I was there. i still don't know how exactly he stepped off the boat, but it was exciting nonetheless! Scary too.
