Had my co-pilot in the right seat for his first forecastle transfer - he did a couple dry runs ok, but started to go squirrely on the live hoist. Had to take control and put the man on deck cross-cockpit. Basically looking at the bridge windows, which were moving up and down of course...and backwards at 15 knots. Brain to hand interface near 100%...LOL.
This was long before I got to SAR boat hoisting off smaller boats...in the dark and worse wx, but at least we weren't flying backwards.
Google photo btw - not the event.
