Squorch, What are the green lights floating under the bird in the night shot? (over the water)

This is one of my favorite shots - a 30 second exposure (f/5.6, 420mm equiv.) from the, uh, area forward of the tower, on USNS Supply during night SAR jumps.

The green light is indeed the swimmer's chemlight as he rides on the hoist.

That's a Hotel, which always had the ability (ie, "legal" paperwork in the MRC deck) to take the doors off.

Would have thought that no doors would be the way to go when flying over water, and the temperature made it bearable. It would seem to make egress go much quicker in the event of an emergency.

And thats why they never asked my opinion on doors/ no doors. I'll try to stick with remembering the best way to pack a ruck sack and quit speculating about such things.
Makes sense when you think about it.
