Lifeboat Drills


Lifeboat Drills
Originally uploaded by keithrbrinkman.
Gripes, Catapult Wire, Winch Gear, Man rope, twicing pendant, frapping lines, davit and painters - all words I know need to know about and their function in the launching of our lifeboats. I have been assigned to lifeboat #1 as the Standby Breakman and at the same time I need to learn some of the other roles of Breakman and Communicator - we have training on Mondays. Always something new and an adventure here. This is needed as we will be sailing the m/v Anastasis to Liberia in February.
