Boat trips are popular with the wealthy. What is the attraction of voyage? Ships sailing over the sea usually do not meet other ships. Sometimes you will see a fishing boat, but basically there is only one on the sea. Crew members and passengers work together in a space separated by the horizon. Everyone follows the rules and travels for months as if they were one community. The food and living environment is equal to or better than that on land. All annoying communications have been shut out.
But even such a voyage is risky and you often hear news about marine accidents. The accident includes a grounding accident due to a voyage mistake. In the case of an automobile, if the steering wheel operation fails, a collision accident may occur. In the case of a ship, if you navigate a shallow water route, you will run into a reef and be unable to navigate. Isn’t recovery from that virtually impossible? A grounded vessel will not be removed by a tow truck. Escape the people who were on board from the grounded ship, and only dismantle the rest. Who is responsible for the accident? It may be the captain or the voyage chief.
In that respect, the responsibilities of captain and voyage are quite risky. Its riskiness is the opposite of the comfort that passengers feel. That is why passengers should follow the rules given by the captain.
When things get frustrated, people say that they run aground or ride a reef. Have you ever been stranded in something? If you have never been aground in your life, why is that? Isn’t it because someone is doing safe navigation somewhere?
That’s all for today’s post. Thank you
