Had a great weekend sailing on The Solent and decided it was time for the annual MOB practice.

Instead of the usual fender I thought one of the crew could jump in instead! Well we voted and Tim (Very fit, 6' 3" ex- offcier) kindly volunteered. In he went, lifebuoy thrown at him and a perfect pick-up was accomplished under sail. I had the rope ladder trailing so he was able to lift himself in as I have a bad back!

Moral is to practice this stuff in decent weather otherwise you dont stand a chance when the going really gets tough....
