Yesterday we helped a boat that had managed to get stuck on a reef... One of the local dive operators came out to pull them off but it was hard going as the couple were in shock, exhausted, stressed, and not quite firing on all cylinders.
Often cruisers (and various yachting writers) will go on about disaster plans and the needfulness of being prepared and suchlike but most don't account for the simple fact that more than likely when the shit-hits-the-fan you won't be in top form and a simple act like tying a shoe or cleating off a line becomes something akin to rocket science.
Maybe. just something you may want to factor in...
