Tall ship captain shelters from Sandy, questions actions of Bounty captain.

The Bounty captain was respected as competent and careful. But the sea is unforgiving... sometimes it just takes one mistake.

1. This will be a great movie...n/t

2. With the benefit of retrospect, it's hard to be critical, but....

he clearly made a critical error in judgement.

Personally, I would have moved the ship inland to safer waters, but I am super cautious.

It's one thing to be caught in waters you can't easily get out of. It's quite another to make the decision to head out of port into what is sure to be treacherous conditions.

My deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of the lost crew member and to those of the captain, who is surely lost as well.

3. Very sad

that the bounty had to take lives with her

4. People are more important than things. Always. Not knowing that

seems to be his one big mistake. I understand that he was tasked with protecting the ship, but it was a replica. It can be... replicated.
