You guys are not only geniuses, but witty ones. Thought someone might ask the range to see if bladder might be needed onboard

I sent the foredeck picture to K1W1 with the grabrails showing on and aft of the bridge in regards to the safety aspect of holding on or tethering. I wasn't able to attach it, so if anyone is interested, perhaps K1W1 would be kind enough to fill in for my computer ineptitude.
