I was dispatched to the ship via a launch, my objective was to board the ship. In this mission, things can go wrong. Nope, I was not in my reservist training rather it's my job if I have vessel to attend.

Trust me, things can go wrong when out in the sea. Heavy rain, strong wind and bad current may capsize big vessel, let alone small launch. Even one is a extremely good swimmers, but against mother nature he's as helpless as a baby.

For those larger boat is not safe even when alongside. I took these pictures when I was in Clifford Pier on my way out. She was sank off at Clifford piers jetty.

My launch is about five times smaller than the capsize boat. What you think of my chance out in the open sea if there's an accident? Just on the record, there are no life jacket available in some launch.

Damn, I'm putting my life on the line for my work. Not worth it.
