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.
