Wasabi the J: Jan 23, 2008; MOM WAS RIGHT

CommieGIR posted:

Nearly the entire crew was well aware of what they were heading towards. Chief Mate asked for a change of course. Captain denied. Third Mate suggested they were heading straight into danger, but didn't want to second guess the captain. Then presented a plot of the Hurrican'e course to the captain, showing they would come within 20 miles of the eye. Captain declined change of course. Second Mate calls up captain suggesting change of course. Captain denies.

The Captain was an idiot, and everyone was aware of what was about to happen. He dismissed it as "Well, its like this every day in Alaska".

The captains bones should be dredged up, and beaten.

What a shithead; read the whole transcript. I'm not a mariner, so I'll reserve my judgement of his decisions, although it does floor me that he would compare navigating a commercial fishing vessel in Alaskan seas to operating a much heavier ship though hurricanes.
