I was also on coxswain duty and we pulled up to NOF. One of the guys fell off wearing the wool winter great coat. He must have gain 40 # of water before we got him aboard the Mic boat.
Then there was the time we went over to pick up a Mic boat from NOF. We were running along with it and heard yelling from it. Smoke was coming out of the vents. The guy operating it grabbed a fire extinguisher, pinned it open and dropped it in the engine compartment. Then he jumped over the side. Fire out, we picked him up, tied the boat next to ours and brought it back to Island.
Welcome aboard shipmate, May you have Fair Winds and Following Seas!
