@BraCuru@ z kanałem 16-tym jest przeróżnie. Ja pływałem pod 3 kapitanami i sam prowadziłem jeden rejs.
Są tacy, którzy chorobliwie oszczędzają prąd, choć i tak kazdego wieczora od nowa pompują jacht wodą i energią. jest też grupa skiperów, która chce "mieć spokój", często nie znają języka, lub b. słabo, a UKF włączają tylko na wejściach do marin, a i to nie zawsze, bo jak chce się wejść "na głupa", czy "na krzywy ryj" do pełnej mariny, to nie należy się o nic pytać, tylko wjechać i rozłożyć ręce. Sa też załogi, a one mają duzo do powiedzenia, bo jak gdyby "one płacą", które mają zestawy płyt i nie ma czasu na "jakieś szumy". No tu są różne klimaty.
Pamiętaj, że wielu kapitanów nie ma SRC ( Świadectwa Operatora Łączności Krótkiego Zasięgu - Short Range Certificate) i specjalnie niekoniecznie to wszystko nadąża opanować. Od tego jest facet zabrany na pokład z tym SRC, ale on jest od pokazania kwitu i potem ma siedzieć cicho. No chyba, że będą kłopoty. Zwracam po cichutku uwagę na fakt, że w wielu krajach pytaja tylko o SRC ( i ew. patent sternika) i wydaja jacht, reszta ich mało obchodzi poza kasą.
Są oczywiście załogi o bardzo sportowych i morskich ambicjach i potrafią pływać z pełnym systemem wacht, pracą z mapą, nasłuchem na 16-tce i te klimaty, ale jaki to procent - nie wiem.
Jak się słucha różnych relacji przy ognisku i na przystani - to jest pełen wachlarz możliwości, od skrajnosci do skrajnosci.
Sąteż akweny, gdzie są tylko pasjonaci i profesjonaliści. Ostatnio miałem okazję obejrzeć DVD z relacją z pływania wokół Hornu i w kanale Beagle - połowa załogi to byli księża, co się okazało przy sekwencji z Mszy św. w mesie. Sądząc z całego materiału, to był bardzo profesjonalny team.
Są po prostu różne załogi, różni kapitanowie, różne układy w załodze, różny cel pływania... itd.
Ale jak się pogoda sypnie, to raczej wszyscy zaczynają się pilnować. kilka lat temu wywołaliśmy jacht z prośbą o ew. asystę, natychmiast odpowiedział, podszedł i póki mógł trzymał się blisko. Miał polską załogę.

Rozbitków z Heweliusza podejmowały helikoptery w nocy z tratw ratunkowych i z wody. Prom się bowiem szybko wywrócił do góry dnem ( nie peirwszy zresztą raz w swej karierze). Jak ich znajdowały nie wiem. Niemcy to cholernie skuteczny naród.

Poczytaj, jak rozkręcono w nocy akcję ratowania "Estonii" - minuta za minutą ( polecam - warto):
Kilkanaście lat temu. Mam nadzieję, że teraz są jeszcze lepsi.
