oh...man....that's bad. Those guys have an unbelievably dangerous job.
sorry to hear that, Ralph.
regarding the CG rescue boats...I dont know much about their righting
mechanisms, but in one of the videos from that site, one boat is seen
surfing a wave (literally playing on the waveface) and then it goes over.
A strong jet of water is seen on the starboard side...I assume the jets are
integral to gaining a righting moment?

often wrong
