Megwyn 2 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 How many people die from choking on cream doughnuts? Ill bet dozens a year! But sinking boats is soooo much more newsworthy or crossing the road, riding a bike, climbing a ladder.... or going to the lavatory . . . Link to post Share on other sites

Megwyn 2 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Not at all Banaari - just stop eating LOL - in reality it is only a problem if you have an underlying disorder (abdominal aortic aneurism - AAA for short). Tends to cause an individual to feel an overwhelming need to use the lav in the middle of the night, which they do. Subsequently they burst the aneurism, and die on the lav. A rather quick way to go really. It is not uncommon for an elder to have a heart attack on the lav either. All in all, the older we get, the more dangerous the lav becomes. And the more dangerous bed becomes. Link to post Share on other sites
Bogan 8 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 For the sake of clarification I am against any mandatory clearance rule, whether the coast is a lee shore or not. like others said: seamanship should be enough. The only point I was trying to make above was that if someone did introduce such a rule in their sailing instructions it would need to apply only to a lee shore. Link to post Share on other sites

DrWatson 380 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 or crossing the road riding a bike climbing a ladder.... Crikey, if you can do those three things at once you should be in the circus. But then you might be killed by an elephant! to be fair, I did removed punctuation from Clipper's post... Link to post Share on other sites
