A brilliant post Scott and well worth the wait. I cannot even imagine doing that cold water training. 🥶

Fortunately they don't make it too cold for us in training! Just enough to give you the idea :)

Thank you. I enjoyed that over my late morning cuppa.

Assume no lasting damage to the littl'un?

On the Cold Water Training - no thanks. I'll stay on the land.

Your description of the training is terrifying to a non seaman but essential. Training and preparation are still the best tools for survival. Every seaman dreams of the day he will return to his family safely.

My solution was "address this person using either their full name, rank or job title", basically.
