Are you professional enough to post on "gCaptain"?

And with that and this, time to shut her down.

Nice! Should I go Five Finger Death Punch on his ass or is that just too childish and crude?

Read my post moron … you could have bypassed the cooler and maneuvered to the best position to assist in your own rescue. "

Where do you see anything about “alongside”?

You have a canny knack of manipulating other posts in your bizarre attempt at blaming the people who saved your ass.

Are you some kind of masochist or is there no place else people listen to you? Do you figure getting laughed at and called an idiot is better than your real life offline? Don’t answer, those were rhetorical questions, I don’t give a shit and probable few others do either. Just go away.

I hope you and your crew always perform perfectly, and, or, that you are never ever caught by surprise, unprepared for what happens next.

They won’t. That’s the point of those risk matrix "thingies " that you so quickly trash. Bad things happen. Good crews that are well trained mess up. Well trained and competent officers still collide in the English Channel. Advanced warships get run down by container ships (exactly how that went down I’m still unsure of, but am eagerly awaiting investigation results that may be a long time in coming). The ocean has a vote on things. That’s why, on your initial proposal of using a life saving appliance (that also has enough history behind it that the agency mandating we carry them also sees fit to constantly warn us of the hazard involved simply in testing them) to assist in a rescue had several opposing viewpoints.

The Monday Morning Quarterbacking is too thick coming from human beings whose shit doesn’t stink.

So far the only Monday Morning Quarterbacking has come from you in your really hopelessly lame attempt to trash the crew who saved your ass.

Everyone else here has simply told you in many ways that you are an idiot and the creator of the situation you are ranting about. You were ignorant and unfit and your toy boat was unseaworthy because of your incompetence.

Your condemnation of your past and probable future rescuers is based purely on your own ignorance and incompetence.

Rather than wallow in the mud here you should write a book on how large ships should rescue WAFIs on the high seas. Turn your rage into a teaching exercise, add another chapter to the marine safety literature. Maybe the IMO and CG will award you a medal for improving safety at sea.

you surely will not want anyone holding up a Risk Assessment graphic to show you why they will just continue to take pictures of you drowning.

Nobody. Nobody. Not professional merchant mariners. Not the Coast Guard. Not pararescumen. Not land based structural firefighters.

Has an obligation to place themselves in an unreasonably dangerous position to rescue you.

And yes. Launching a lifeboat in many cases is an unreasonable hazard to have people in. Especially in the weather conditions you were in.

Because it is much more likely it won’t be ME in the ocean next time, it will be one of you.

Bet you I’m wearing my immersion suit with a proper lifejacket and am willing to do anything to stay alive without complaining. I may have not spent “50 years” on boats for fun, but I know when to take my ball and go home.

Ohhhhhhh no you didn’t @cchick001 . I should flag this for the trauma and PTSD you’ve triggered in every parent of a little girl on this forum! LOL

[cchick001]

I was rather proud of this! I kept it clean! I was considering something much, much worse!
