There was a documentary recently on the dangers of crabbing in the cold northern waters, very dangerous storms, waves, you go numb and a wave hits you and you can't hold on any longer and are swept overboard - bye bye. Get hit by a crab pot when it comes up on deck, bye bye - get caught by one being sent done under Bye bye.Astronuc said:
