0094 Me On The Fantail Home | Previous | Next | Index |

We lost a man off this fantail. He was sitting one level up when a wave washed him overboard. I was standing my lookout watch at the time on the bridge and feel bad, felt bad for not being able to find him. In high seas and with a little steam pushing the ship at twenty knots, thirty knots, you're overboard, and you're gone.
