I'm not sure when the tradition started, it has been attributed to Mike Westfield, of presenting the Potters with an unannounced emergency drill to test their reactions. It started with simple whifferdills but soon increased in complexity to simulated collisions and replicated capsizings. The EAD described above is, without doubt, the longest EAD on record and the Potters are to be commended for their reactions and the way they handled the drill. I must admit, I was very impressed with the way the organizers timed the tide to fit the drill. Further, the after action reports are among the best published to date. I hope we continue the tradition with the same outstanding results.
