Thanks Clyde and Husni. I don't know any of the current coxswains, but my boating experience emphasises that great care needs to be taken with a following sea, with the danger of being turned beam-on and rolling over. Much easier in a helicopter . . .

Good one Tropic! I bet the coxswain was enjoying that.

Have you ever met the pilot boat captain?
Great skill both of you mr Tropic, windy situation the partner of your jobs :) at sea and on air
