It's always the Capt's fault no matter what goes wrong. If they headed out to sea and all died then it was his fault. If they wash up on a mud bank it's still his fault. It's hard to say what you would have done in that situation. I have survived a Cat4 at anchor by running my engines to take strain off of the anchors but it was just blind luck. You never know what those freaking storms will do. I now have hurricanes figured out. I hole up at 45 degrees north for the summer! They all survived and are here to tell the sea story. Still it all boils down to the capt's judgement and right or wrong it's your fault if your in command.
