Any armchair captains have any good ideas what they would have done if they were at the wheel of that boat say a few days prior to the known storm coming at them?

Hmm, good questions.

I am fairly certain that if I was going to hang around the path of the big storm I would have made sure I had solid anchors and some swinging room.

One can only judge by the results I guess.

If memory serves right after reading the VF article a month or two ago, the captain on the ship recommended going somewhere else, but the owner had no respect for no hurricanes and insisted on staying in place...
