dark humor belongs in the DIR forum only I guess.
I think it fits better in any of the technical dive forums, not just the DIR forum, but it's still a little tasteless this close to the accident and with a person still in the water.
no, tasteless would be calling the people who took the ship out irresponsible and placing blame on the missing crewmen.

Color me tasteless, I guess.
well I have heard you are nothing but a tasteless dive boat operator. I mean you make people decorate their own cups and keep them! How dare you.

Since this is the Storm forum and not Passings, I will question the move to try to outrun the storm? I saw people debating it on the ship's FB page but didn't want to get into it there.
Would a replica sailing vessle like this, with auxillary motor power I suppose, be better running or stay in port and tying down?
I read that they thought they'd got around it. Even the Windjammer boats of the 1990s had radar. Would they have not seen the dangers on radar?

I can tell you what my insurance company said when I asked the prior to Ike "should I try to save the boat by running from the storm or should I tie it down and hope for the best?" They said "Why do you think you pay such outlandish premiums? Tie her down and walk away."
I got back to the boat, the generator was running, the beer was cold and the internet was on. We didn't have power at the house for 3 weeks.

No. X-band radar is worthless once closed in by weather. The radar reflects off the rain close to you and you can't see but a limited number of miles. Besides, wind sinks boats, and you can't see wind on radar.
They needed Sirius satellite weather displayed on a big computer screen in the wheelhouse. Y'all thought that I only played solitaire on that computer, didn't ya?
