True unfortunately

[@Quint1836]

Because for checks that only slows them down. It's a money game

[@katyalupochev9589]

@@Quint1836 understandable, but it’s a money game .. until your boat starts to capsize and your life rafts are unfit for purpose because there were no Coasties to check. Then it quickly becomes a “life” game, lol. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure most captains are great and more concerned about crew safety than themselves. But I’m sure there’s some that will happily put crew at risk to make some extra dollars for themselves. In such an extreme work environment I’m glad there’s equally extreme protection for workers.

[@Tyson-co4oc]

RIP F/V Destination. May your crew be at peace.

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

What other Coastguard services ask the boat captain to do is to go flat out - it stops the boat from swaying side to side and makes the boat more stable. That's easy for me to say sitting on a seat watching this - however I'm just saying what others do.

[@AmericanTestConstitution]

I've been to the Bering Sea and I've never heard of "flagging out".

[@cepaasch]

That is a displacement hull, going faster wouldn't do much if anything for vessel stability.

[@QemeH]

Well, what the original comment MIGHT refer to is that boats are often advised to keep a certain speed during rescue in high seas to maintain maneuverability. Maybe to captains in over their head this is most easily communicated to as: "Go flat out!" But it really is: "Go with the wind and keep at a speed such that the waves aren't faster than you." [Yes, technically it's better for maneuverability to "take" the wave at a good angle, but that induces a lot of unpredictable motion and makes maintaining a hover over the boat neigh impossible.]

[@docholliday6]

I think it's just because he was close with Jeff hathaway.

[@Goji1]

He was close friends with the captain of F/V Destination, He even mentioned his life and his boat was saved by the crew of Destination in his younger years when he accidentally ran aground. They managed to tow him off.

[@lonhusar]

I'm a fisherman in the Faroe Islands and as far as I know that's called a trawler not a long liner but I'm not familiar with the Alaskan terminologies

[@mylifeisdope916]

have yet to see a long liner with trawl doors hanging off it...

[@k_froggy]

Yeah i was looking for that comment. Also why is there a block of frozen bait on a trawler?

[@Cthippo1]

I think a lot of the Alaska fleet are set up to fish multiple species because the seasons are so short. They may do Crab one season, then come back and trawl or longline for salmon in the next opening.

[@The.CoreyCraig]

Pretty dumb of discovery to get the facts wrong. It’s not a long liner, it’s a trawler, hence the trawl doors on the back of the boat. It was as case of frozen fish that hit him, not bait. I can say this with certainty because I’m the chief engineering that boat and I was in the wheelhouse. Good rescue non the less

well they do have to take time to assess how they're gonna go about lowering their swimmer onto the ship. they're not gonna just blindly lower their swimmer onto a pitching boat without some kind of strategy. blindly lowering a swimmer onto a boat that's pitching that badly is how people would get killed. surprised you didnt think of that.

Why wouldnt the boat stop? Would that make it more difficult?

If the boat stops, it sways heavier due to waves and can potentially capsize or take on too much water, the ideal method is to go flat out so the boat stays upright and cuts through the waves
