Cannot get off the ship

In Uncategorized • By Marty St. James

After a three hour ship journey we anchore a long way off shore at Frei the Chilean base. One of the small landing crafts is lowered by crane into the rolling sea below, along with 4 navy men and our luggage. The situation is disturbing to watch. The boat looks like it might sink as the waves bounce over it. A crew member is thrown to the floor of the boat. The ropes securing the boat to the ship breaks. The metal rope attachment then snaps off on the other rope. The craft then breaks free of the ship and has to be hauled back. Its a mess and dangerous. The crew are screaming at each other.
