That's a first.  Spent many weekends there and it was like the wild west with no sheriff.

Having worked on commercial fishing boats for many years (lobster, tuna long liners) in some of the roughest seas (Southern Ocean, Indian Ocean), I can tell you they are a hindrance to your daily work and quite impractical / unworkable when working with heavy gear. If a freak wave capsized the boat, it's a tragic accident that sometimes happens.
Perhaps walk a mile in someone's shoes or research a topic before saying something which ends up showing your ignorance.
R.I.P to the deceased.

Is your statement even relevant as this apparently happened in Bang Saen?

Ummmm, yes, it is actually. The response was about the issue of lifejackets. As this was on a commercial fishing boat, I thought that by explaining the difficulty of working on a commercial boat whilst wearing one may explain the reason. It's actually irrelevant as to the sea/ocean (location) Bang Saen, Southern Ocean or otherwise
