The loss of M/V Conception

Wages are regulated in the US as well, usually time and a half for overtime.

The loss of M/V Conception

Re: The loss of M/V Conception

Talk to a truck driver, ask him what the punishment is for driving too much and or for doctored log books.’I can ensure you, it’s rigorously enforced.

Re: The loss of M/V Conception

In the Army it’s called crew rest.
Funny thing, the airlines adopted the policy as well. FAA mandates it, I believe even the DOT does for truck drivers as well.
So much for civilian life being so...

Re: The loss of M/V Conception

How do you set a watch schedule when on passage?

Re: The loss of M/V Conception

Not really, we called them fire guards in the Army, every barracks always had someone awake and on guard, shift was two hours if memory serves, but that was a long time ago.

The loss of M/V Conception

Zyklon B is a trade name for Hydrogen cyanide, and other than of course the terror that I’m not trying to play down it’s actually a pretty painless death.

Re: The loss of M/V Conception

I have five Halon fire extinguishers on my boat, three automatic that were there when I bought her, one in the engine compt. One in the Lazarette where the generator is, and a third in the electrical...

Re: The loss of M/V Conception

The model airplane guys learned that years ago, partially because we pushed the packs so hard, with heavy discharges and heavy charging, and of course every now and again we crashed which damaged a...

Re: The loss of M/V Conception

I was probably 10 years old when I attended a demonstration about supplemental oxygen and flying, one of the demo’s...

The loss of M/V Conception

Since we are speculating, any vessel with a 55 KW generator I’d expect the valley to be electric, makes the most sense for a dive boat to have a monster generator and electric compressors, and be all...
