Episode 75 - Muff Diver ft. Darcy
Episode description
In this episode, Taylor is joined by Darcy to discuss the sinking of the charter fishing vessel Muff Diver on August 9th, 1987. This is a more lighthearted episode than we typically have, but still with lessons to be taken from the incident about disaster preparedness, communication, and the management of crew and passengers during a voyage.
