    Jen, you don't have to explain staying on the Pivot. Under any adverse conditions a person should be on watch for safety reasons. That's common sense. Eliot did so well, helping 4 other boats in one morning. Just shows how good of boaters you both are. Jen, don't get so stressed out. You are going to be a wreck before loop is completed. You and Eliot have learned so much since you started and it shows. Be alert but relax a little, the challenges you face is something most all boaters experience on a long adventure. Aloha.

    Elliot, you did great! It has always surprised me how few people want to get involved in an emergency. There had to be 20 others in the anchorage yet you were the only one actively assisting. Way to go. Semper Fi!!! Jen, you did exactly what you should have done. Handle your own situation. Then and only then should you assist other boaters. I'm proud of both of you.

    Great video. Very interesting with lots of excellent boating lessons to think about. In the airline industry we have a concept known as CRM, Crew Resource Management. You both provided a good example of CRM in action. Our first duty is to ensure the safety of our own boat and crew even if it means not rendering assistance to another boat in distress. Thank you for sharing this video and great job in a very difficult and challenging situation.

    Everyone seems to want to anchor in busy Cape May harbor. A mile or so up the NJICW is a well protected anchorage in Sunset Lake. It can pay to get off the beaten path sometimes!

    • @SchoandJo
      @SchoandJo  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good idea! The only thing about Sunset Lake, if I recall correctly, is that it was behind a timed bridge. Most people want to have a bit more freedom of leaving when they can I presume. However that would be better than dragging anchor though!

    This is one of the situations we avoided by staying in marinas during windy times. It is a cost but can potentially avoid these kinds of situations. Handling your own boat is one thing. Being subject to the lack of skill and preparedness (would say idiocy but trying to be nice) of other boaters can be avoided...sometimes.

    One night i heard a mayday from a 45 ft meridian in Bear Creek MD my home port that had run a ground at near top speed after passing on the wrong side of the marker. On board were two very injured women and a man. I was the first one there and carried the three over to a marina where an ambulance was waiting. The coast guard and a tow boat arrived but neither could help because they drew to much water. I ended up taking all the passengers plus the captain to the coast guard boat then went back and helped the tow boat connect lines to the grounded boat so he could pull it off. It took many hours to get that done.
