Not denigrating what the standby boats do but the thought of being in a 4.5m+ swell at night with my only chance of pick up being a scoop doesn't fill me with joy!

I think BALPA has the right idea - after all SAFETY is always preached as the only thing that counts.

At least BP has brought in SAR helicopters which have a far better chance of a. spotting you on a dark and stormy night (300ft and .75nm) than a boat has, and b. being able to pick you up.
