To Tony and crew. Your efforts to assist Insicor and to rescue crew in the water deserves the highest degree of recognition and thanks from the entire boating community. Too few of us sailors, myself included, don't or did not take safety at sea as importantly as we should. Until you live it, as you articulated so well, few appreciate the difficulties with in - water rescue. A couple of years ago, Wildcat was the first boat on the scene after a boating tragedy in 50+ knot winds; two persons in the water (one dead) and another that dove in to assist. Like most of us, our crew had practiced MOB in calm comfortable conditions. It's not the same in harrowing conditions with 250 lbs or more of incapacitated humans. I only hope that others take away from your article, the serious nature of our sport and raise the bar on safety to the same level that most put into racing. I, for one, learned that lesson the hard way. Tonight, North Cape Yacht Club and our non-profit North Cape Sailing School (LaSalle, Mi) will be hosting an annual "Saftey at Sea Seminar". On behalf of our Club I've been asked to thank you for what you did on the water and for your article as well as to let you know that the article will be used as part of the seminar discussion. Agian, THANK YOU!!
