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.
