Comms never wear survival suits except on TeeWee. Coasties are always on their case, but once they leave it's out of sight out of mind.

I get the bravado thing, but your ship is doing full roll overs (and recovering via movie magic) and you just lounge in the bunk in your Grundens?

Seemed odd to me.

Not true at all bud........I can think of one time I was very glad I had one on. All commercial boats that operate in federal waters are now required to have monthly safety training drills. A log most be kept and the drills validated by a certified drill instructor. Most smart comm. fishermen today believe in training and attend free safety training like the program offered by Fishing Partnership support services.
