Some ‘sale’ to get to Wales.
Some decades ago, a Hollywood couple decided to go swimming at night off their yacht. They didn’t put down a ladder and could not get back aboard. They died.
If you fall over the side and you don’t have a line trailing off the back, you’re done. Being alone at sea is damned dangerous.
I’m 69. Twice in the last year, with no warning, I was incapacitated by a medical event I had no idea was happening. I was at home and even getting to the phone was close to impossible. Imagine that at sea.
Soo... even though 'lost at sea' is dreadful enough, it could have been worse.
