Thank you to everyone who watched and left a positive comment on this week's video. 🛥😎 To everyone else who would have known, there are so many professional armchair captains who subscribe to our channel and have intimate knowledge of our Emergency Response Plans and Muster List. When planning this drill, we had many meetings with the HODs and the entire crew, along with Flag and Shoreside Management, to let them know our intentions of releasing the smoke flare. The smoke was an expired flare that had already been replaced. All crew have individual designated duties for each incident, be it MOB, Grounding, Collision, Abandon Ship, Medical, or Security, and they know their duties by heart. However, they must head to the muster station on the Main Deck Aft first to check in so the On-Scene-Coordinator (OSC) Chief Officer Tyler can do a head count on his clipboard. From there, they were directed by the CO where they would be needed. I firmly believe this drill was a success. It provided us with invaluable insights and learnings, which will significantly enhance our preparedness for real emergencies. Remember, we never claim to be perfect; we drill to be better and hone our skills. Thank you for watching, and sorry if you found this too clickbaity we're just having fun.

[@Dave-in-MD]

Many people have a lot of experience on the water and to denigrate them as "professional armchair captains" is a little cheeky. I stand by my statements but I do understand having a little fun with the channel. Personally I would have added something at the end of the video acknowledging that you were having fun with the video but that the training is deadly serious. That would have calmed a lot of people, my self included, that felt that you were seriously calling a drill, "not a drill". Many people have never been to sea and don't realize that going overboard is one of the worst things that can happen. Even in daylight hyperthermia can set in quicker than you think and it is amazingly hard to spot a person in the water. I realize that an edited video does not and can not show all that goes into a MOB drill but it looks like your crew is well trained and knows their roles in the evolution. My other comment was not meant to disparage you in your training scenario or your crew in their performance.

[@viviennelambie5645]

The drill was amazingly professional the loon is a exceptional yacht never a dull moment I watch and enjoy every video and always recommend my friends do the same the interaction with your followers is outstanding thankyou🤗👍

Well done guys, life at sea is always scary

[@karagregory69]

Practice a skill you pray you never need. I worked on a yacht in college as a junior cabin attendant and I lost my balance while on a ladder cleaning a window and went overboard. We were in the channel heading out to sea and a 16 foot recreational boat was behind us and they saw me and pulled me into their boat. My only injury was to my pride.

[@Alithia7]

You had me emotionally invested in this rescue, my heart was beating fast. Sigh... way to built suspense with that cliffhanger last time. So glad it was a drill after all. Can't have Paige actually falling overboard.

[@larryboothby3687]

Bravo Zulu! On the submarine we always announced the emergency as if it was the real deal. We would never know if the fire or flooding was a drill until we got into it. It keeps you on your toes. Good to see the Loon crew on top of it!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you, Larry. We often do table tops and walk-through drills, but this was our first live exercise, so we kept the crew unaware to make it feel as real as possible. All the crew responded exactly as they were trained and did a great job recovering Paige from the water. 🛥🛟

[@larryboothby3687]

@@motoryachtloon We came very close to loosing a couple of guys overboard, during a night surface transit in a South Atlantic storm. We hit some BIG waves, and after that the skipper had us go deep. We were taking 15 degree rolls several hundred feet down. It was a spicy ride to say the least. Keep up the good work Loon. The Ocean is unforgiving!

Is it just me or does anyone else think Paige is getting prettier and prettier even after going overboard. What a doll.

As a Combat Medic I give a big thumbs up for the good training from the team good job 👏🏼👍🤓 but don’t forget the ABC,s Airway Breathing, and circulation just because you rescued the victim you still need to perform basic first aid.

[@wizardgmb]

Great drill & great effort by all involved! Does the smoke generator/ring have a strobe light & radio beacon similar to what the sailing yacht crews clip to their life vest? If not, how do you handle a nighttime man overboard? Does anyone onboard have medical training above & beyond that included in basic yacht crew certification? As a certified dive instructor, Nina must have some additional training.

[@imnotkosher444]

Great video!!! When you do emergency drills, the blood gets pumping, and mistakes CAN be made. This drill was impressive, because everyone knew what to do, and where to go to complete an emergency successfully.

[@onedayatatime4232]

It's ironic showing this today, given that a person fell from a cruiseship today just of Sydney Heads Australia 🇦🇺. That person's body was recovered sometime later, deceased. Good video .

[@irvingguerreroartista]

The emergency medical kit should be in place as soon as you know there is a man overboard, every second counts. Congrats to the whole team, including mini Paige for keeping her cool.

[@wannabedal-adx458]

⁠@@wannabedal-adx458I was curious about qualifications as well. If two or more are certified lifeguards. EMT status etc.

[@trystanirwin8476]

​@@Tanner6-tp8nx i will try explain this as best i can but its quite alot , the captains as well as officers are both traoned to higher first aod standards the captains of larger vessels , so much so that they are able to do small medical procedures at sea through the guidance of a doctor (there are systems onboard most but not all vessels depending on vessel size , where we have direct access to doctors 24/7 who are specialised in dealing with these scenarios and communicating with the captains trained in that manner a well known company for this is medaire which im sure if you googled that company may also give some insight

[@stevekaluf2708]

Really well executed, what a great crew!

[@MishaElla94]

The smoke flare was interesting. Working on a much smaller vessel we don't use them (as turning around takes us about 3 seconds). How long does it actually take to turn Loon around and approximately back to the victim? Incredibly precise piloting there too Cpt Paul!

[@geraint7937]

Being a firefighter and have been on water rescues it might be worth carrying a good hand held thermal imaging camera (TIC) even casualties that have been in water for an hour still show up great on the (TIC) day and night.

[@motoryachtloon]

We have a FLIR camera mounted on the mast, which we would use at night. But it is a good idea about the handhelds. Maybe we'll grab some for the lookouts. Thanks

[@whatscoldoing5627]

I would see the drone as a valuable tool in the search for a man overboard. Aerial view is far superior.

Paige, my #1 favorite person on Loon.

[@s_ren1641]

modern methods for modern times. Keep a fully charged drone on close at hand. It's easier to see the contrast of the body from the air and you can just hover the drone over the person and not worry about losing line of sight. Of course this method only really works for crews large enough to spare one person for this.

[@08cad]

Good way to get the view count up. Not to mention the good crew training. As a safety director as well as a Firefighter/Medic training only makes your team more ready and reliable when a real life saving event occurs because it’s not a matter of if but when. Just keep practicing and living good safety and keep those when’s to a bare minimum.

[@markshutt1476]

Paige wasn't looking too good when fished out of the water, but seems to have recovered just fine. Getting that smoke in the water quickly is key. We, USN, were trained to have someone continually pointing to where the person in the water is. Great job Loon crew.

I thought it was a actual over board and great practice drill , I've gone thru this as a Marine on a naval ship its was all hands on deck.

[@julesforsyth2996]

Great job everyone, I didn't realise it was a drill until you got "Paige" on board, well done. Is it normal to do a sinking ship drill ? I expect it is but one probably wouldn't open the life rafts (I think, but don't know for sure, once opened, thats it) though the chase boat and toys could probably be used also.

“Man overboard on the starboard side” points to port side.. nice

[@rayfighter]

fantastic! Except... saying "this is not a drill" to the comms has precisely this problem: if you keep lying to people when screaming "help", they eventually won't come to help you when you will be saying the truth. I just thought I would drop this tiny bit of reason, I'm sure obvious for most. 😇

[@wannabedal-adx458]

I had a feeling it was a drill. The best drills are the ones unannounced. Having served in the Navy (and trained in ship handling and ship operations), I never heard the results of the muster passed over the radio. The many man overboard drills on my ship had muster reports called over the ship's announcing system. Still great job by all hands. Funny bits: What was Tristan doing at 5:38?!?!? Also Tristan popping "Paige's" head (balloon) behind Tyler was awesome!!!

[@slappomatthew]

Thank goodness Paige is alive.

You have the drones on board, maybe consider adding that aspect to the drill. Eye's in the sky is often easier to search.

Well done except for one thing: “we would have lost it except for the smoke”. The Loon crew’s black uniforms are stylish and look really good on each member of the crew but the uniforms are BLACK. I’m wondering if a contrasting color like white, yellow or orange on the shoulders would help if a crew member fell overboard- especially at night or in poor weather.

[@DJPetrou]

That's the one thing I noticed also. Are there extended smoke flares that would burn longer? If the smoke burns out and you lose view of the overboard person you're in trouble. Time for Loon to change uniform colors. 👍🏻
