After the discussion on tethers I see this account of solo MOB survival. It happened after he'd been living aboard for a long time, calm waters, doing something familiar. But I note he says he's only had 2 hours sleep in the last 30 but that doesn't change his protocol. He could have had a rule about clipping on when going on the swim platform, I guess in a hot climate he'd have nothing to clip on to and its a hassle to have to put any kind of harness on each time if he's regularly going there for a minute. Could have at least always towed a line astern when he's fishing. (I wonder how long that would have to be to catch it after getting your bearings...?) If he knows he's fishing there a lot could have adapted the stern somehow, at least hung a strop there so he can put an arm through it as he goes down without it getting in the way. Or just fished from the side instead. It seems an accident that shouldn't have happened anyway but its good that he survived so we can learn from his mistake
