Down in the Sea in Ships 0

The tall ship Bounty was lost because the captain made a “reckless” decision to set sail into Hurricane Sandy, according to the first official report on the sinking.

The National Transportation Safety Board on Monday released its 16-page report. A separate Coast Guard investigation is ongoing.

This is no surprise. Anyone who knows anything about boats could have predicted this.

When I worked for the railroad, I occasionally got to read NTSB reports on train wrecks. I found them fascinating, but, then, I worked for the railroad. Anyone else might have found the mass of detail boring.

The NTSB takes so long to issue their reports because they don’t miss the teeniest tiniest thing.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
