As a former Chief Steward with QF 1970/91, we originally had to do our emergency drill for liferafts in Botany Bay. Boarding in full regalia with inflated lifejackets was no easy task with a full southerly blowing. With all curtains down and sea anchor deployed it still spun around, tossing up and down with a full load of 30pax. The slideraft was worse, much higher to try and board, most difficult to remain seated inside due to the high inflation of the tubes, rode like a floundering stricken whale.! Regards, Ken
