That is actually a very good article…short concise but with interesting information
Probably a cover story for taken away for medics to conduct blood tests .Booze / Drugs etc .Establishing if the skipper is “ clean “ before wielding the blame axe .Insurance Co watching closely now .Cops checking the ink on the charge sheet pen also waiting for the results .Yeah, I bet the skipper became unwell when he realised what he'd done
