Richard was clipped onto the jackstay - which is a safety line designed to keep you on the boat. The rule for the boys is that if the boat is not tied up then they are. They wear a lifejacket and safety line whenever they are on deck, and only go out dependant on the conditions and parental approval. He was sat down when we crossed the Queen Mary 2's wash, as were both other boys and although the boat did bounce up and down at a good angle and he could look down into the sea he was never in any danger of falling off.
It was quite exciting though.
