--part1_16e.111870bf.2a71d4ab_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just have to ask, y'all get on boats with vital emergency equipment in this condition? That boat is supposed to be one man deployable and ready to rock at a moments notice. I realize that you may not realize this, but from what I keep hearing just about how these boats are being run, I'm less than impressed. You say it's not the captains job to watch for lift bags, I take issue with that, It's the Masters responsability to know everything going on with concern to operations conducted off his/her vessel, and there should be lookouts posted at all times regardless of people in the water or not due to traffic issues ( I often have to fire my 20mm flare gun at people who may violate my safety zone). If you're maintaining a proper lookout, you will see lift bags, and as I said before you may not consider the Master responsible, but at a CG hearing, they will, and believe me, if they lose someone, there will be a CG hearing, and the first question they will ask is "Who was posted as the lookout and what did they see?"
