EVERY SAILOR who honestly cares about their safety at Sea these days should know. TOO MUCH DEPENDENCE ON ELECTRONICS VS WIDE AWAKE EYES ON THE BRIDGE means the difference between LIFE AND DEATH.
SOMEBODY HAS TO BURN FOR THEIR LACK OF CONTROL.
I always hate that it comes down to mass punishment in these cases, but bridge crews have got to be aware and on their toes.
Up there, EVERYONE is a lookout!
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?
