I do remember very well that some of the customers that sailed on these vessels thought nothing of piling their equipment on the hatch that allowed for emergency exits. In all cases these hatches were clearly marked. Safety at sea is everybody's business. Check out the exits when you get on board. Keep exit hatches clear. And don't open doors that are supposed to stay shut.

Amen bill!
