ARI - Very few actually jumped as the main deck was very high from the sea and we had ropes and ladders rigged. I started off down a rope ladder - it seemed a good idea as abandon ship had been ordered and my flying boots were melting! Unfortunately the ladder I chose had been cut off half way down by Alacritys heroic attempts at helping fight the fires, and as things (very hot things) were bursting out through the hull all around it seemed a good time to jump the rest of the way. Then things got very interesting......
