I would chase the hurricane. I would head south, trying to intercept its track, get as close to the eye as I can and stay in the south east quadrant. Of course, when it stops, I would stop, allways staying behind the eye. Never get in front of it. This way, I would get a good ride out of the hurricane.
That's what I would do - if I were the captain of the Bounty.

It is Tuesday 25th October and you are the captain of the Bounty,
presently docked in New London, Connecticut.
Hurricane Sandy is coming in.
What is your best course of action for the best safety of the ship,
and (of course) her crew?
