In the last chapter we learned that the tether and jackline systems that most of us use are pretty close to useless, and may even be more dangerous than not wearing a tether at all because of the risk of being drowned or battered to death (probably a combination of both) while being dragged in the water at the end of our tethers.
In this chapter, after all that bad news, I'm finally going to get positive and look at the changes that Phyllis and I have made, and plan to make, to make our person overboard prevention system on Morgan's Cloud really do its job, rather than just lull us into a false sense of security, as it has been doing for decades.
