Over all the story was well told however I am saddened the story even existed to tell.
It started with bad judgment, continued with bad judgment and ended with a little luck, but over all bad judgment.
He risked the lives of his crew by selling inexperience as an asset. They were indeed volunteers but they should never have been given the option of sailing with a skipper who couldn’t sail his way around a buoy.
As a person who has been sailing and learning for more than 30 years, I am saddened that a celebration of stupidity and poor judgement sells.
