10 years in commercial fishing... got my Skipper 2 with Master 4 dispensation... http://www.smit.com.au/subpage/master4.html <-- was a trainer for these guys teaching emergency procedures, survival at sea, collision regulations, international laws of the sea and a few other topics.....

The guy on the boat manuvering is complete moron. Endangering everyone on board to be a smartass. I find the fact that it appears to be Australian as mind boggling because the Navy Training is so fucken strict... Im amazed that he was ever allowed to even operate the vessel in that manner...I seriuosly doubt he still has a job and if he does it would be peeling spuds on shore.

no collision alarm, no attempt to avoid by the victim, did they not see the 200 tonne boat in perfect conditions?, i can see they`ve learned heaps from the voyager tragedy.just finished my coxwains those fuckwits are everywhere, watched a 60 ft wanker cruiser come across lakes entrance bar the other day about 60 degrees off the leads, i reckon he crossed in about 3 ft of water , wonder what the bikini bimbos had been told about emergency procedure?

destroyers only weigh 200 tonnes?
