Norseman,
I also feel that there are many lessons learned that can help other captains in some of their decision making, and perhaps avoid another situation like this, or worse.
I was fortunate to hook up with one of the Legacy crew and leave my contact information for the owner. Hopefully when this thing is over (at least the recovery part, I'm not thinking of any litigation as that may go on for years), then Mr Halmos would afford me a little time for som einsights. Would also like to hook up with some of the crew that were on board, but heard that Capt Ed has left the scene and gone back to his family.
Through my day job I'm a disaster planner, and have done numerous post mortem analysis reports, lesson learned, change requests, etc, including risk analysis. And this situation is just (not trying to minimize it) another disaster that we can all learn something from.
Thanks for your comments.
Tom

PS Here is another shot as we approached. The stillness of the bay and heat of the tropical sun gave a mirror-like image. Almost seemed like we were approaching a ghost ship.
