The NTSB assessment of the captain's "reckless decision to sail" in the face of the hurricane.

Pretty much what I stated back around the time of the incident, although some here took issue with that. Still find it incomprehensible that someone would take any vessel out into 30-40 foot (10-13 meter) seas without a lot of preparation and thought.
