Amazing all the experience of the members on this forum and I'm the only one who has actually picked a man out of the water who went overboard at night and well off soundings (about half way between the Galapagos and the Marquesas). Or perhaps I'm just the only one who has read this thread...that's more likely the case.
It was in 1979, a long story but one that will pretty much be with me til I peg out. If somebody wants the details they are going to have to ask, I'm not going to impose it on anyone.
Basic conclusions/suggestions: Have a strobe light with the overboard pole as well as a horse shoe type PFD.
