After seeing the film All is Lost with Robert Redford solo sailing around the world I have a deep visceral fear of partially submerged shipping containers. You could be sailing thousands of miles from shore and suddenly sinking.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoMake sure your EPIRB batteries are fresh (and the device is tested) and your life raft is ready to be deployed, and you’ll be fine.

- HeyLaughingBoy 6y agoThere was a story a few days ago about someone who was somehow spotted clinging to his overturned boat by a containership crew about 90nm offshore. His EPIRB did not deploy for some reason. He tried swimming down to detach it, but couldn't get that deep. Yeah, I agree with you, but Chaos finds a way :-(
