Some of these folks trust that GPS plot a bit too much when they are running at 30+ knots. Wouldn't be me, not at night time anyways!! Running at night give me the creeps for just that reason in the picture above.
RIP and speedy recovery to all those involved...never have been comfortable running a boat at speed in the dark for just that reason...even if you miss all the rocks and your navigation is spot on, there may be some random object just floating about that you can't see. I've seen pictures of the damaged boat, must have been something hefty floating about...tore a good chunk of the hull out from the bow, below the waterline going aft.
Cruise lines will be fast tracked in mere months with full signed and sealed approvals, when Mr. Smith has been trying for this for several years...that’s the big disappointment there.
We all know that the reported death count from Hurricane Dorian is a mere fraction of the true death count. The Government was hoping to avoid a public relations disaster, and have dug themselves, literally, into a shallow grave. I sure hope that Tropical Shipping retires those refrigerated containers that have been holding the dead bodies up in Abaco for months!! Things would have been so much easier if the government were just up front and honest about the body count from the get go.
