Recovering a Person Overboard | Demonstrating the Efficiency of the POB-NET
In our previous episode, we introduced you to the POB-NET – a person overboard recovery device that we’d only seen pictures of prior to this point. Given the curiosity and inquiries from viewers about its functionality, we decided to put it to the test in order to showcase just how easy or challenging it is to use.Setting Up POB-NET
The first step in utilizing the POB-NET involves transporting it to where it’s needed. It is secured via Velcro at the bottom and attached to the lifelines at the top, making detachment simple when heading over to where a person may have fallen into the water – on the opposite side of your vessel. Millie serves as our willing volunteer in this demonstration.<!– wp:image {We showed this device in our last video and promised a test video, well this is it. We try it out for the first time and see if it's something that's worth having aboard.

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
