[/ QUOTE ]Not sure about seamanship, but it would have involved effort. The guy was clipped on, according to the report - "The crew member was following safety procedures and was wearing a life jacket with an integral harness and was clipped onto the boat with a safety line at the time of the incident."

Re: Was it?
can't imagine he stayed clipped on for nine minutes or he would need a medivac, sounded to me like he went for a swim and they got back to him we will have to wait and hear the full story
