Quote:-Cobblers! On the short crossing my MCR is out of gliding range of land for 90sec. Le sleeve is the busiest shipping lane in the world. You often have at least one military vessel and a number of yachts within gliding distance. Most average PPL's will not get into a raft unless they have had specialist training.

I hope we don't have to inscribe this on your headstone, but the numbers when it comes to ditching without a life raft are not with you.
