Unfortunately that is my signature on all posts and whilst it may seem inappropiate on this occasion, in reality it confirms my belief that it is indeed "A great life" and perhaps we should all appreciate it more. Swift recovery and condolences to those involved never the less .

No deaths - those previously thought missing now accounted for - although a number of seriously injured.

One always wonders about not only the seaworthiness of these boats but the qualifications and expereince of the crews and the captains if they have any that is.
Best wishes to the injured always make me not want to go on any boat if a Thai is in charge, they steer those like they drive cars NOT VERY WELL it seems.
