I agree. We once had "crew" who stood watch with ear buds and music so loud I could hear it below. One can not hear a flapping halyard, subtle changes in wind small noises that could be the heralds of a problem. Watch standing means having all your senses engaged. To do otherwise is simply courting danger and putting the ship and her cargo of souls at risk. -- Philip & Marilyn Lange AE4OV & KD4JRC, S/V ORYOKI Witness 35 Catamaran http://www.oryoki.net Beaufort North Carolina 'There's no point in having a plan if you're not going to pretend to follow it.' _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
