“Almost got hit by a flying desk safe that came loose in heavy seas.”

One night, off the VA Capes, we had a safe sliding back and forth across the deck in CIC. About 6 of us tackled it and tied it down.

That was a rough night. I put boots under the edge of my mattress to keep from rolling out of my rack. Slept well, though.
