That damned safety light!

Anyone who has been on the boat so far will be familiar with the scene as portrayed by this photo!

As part of the safety equipment there is a floating safety light attached to the horseshoe at the back of the boat.

It dangles just above the cleat where the rear mooring line is attached. Every week - usually in the middle of a critical or hectic mooring operation - it gets knocked into the water.

Fortunately it floats and is tied on to the boat, so is easily recovered.

But as an annoyance, it ranks only second to the smoke alarm.

Hope it brings back fond memories to fellow shipmates.

In Hull now and off to see Spiderman. Weather closing in, so may be here for a few days.
