New London would not be a safe haven either. But Bermuda or Azores or Spain 
would have been a nice safe place before heading to Florida.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Bounty sinking today 

The storm was already hurricane strength and heading their way BEFORE they left 
New London. 

This is their Facebook post from Oct 25, the day they left. 

"Bounty has departed New London CT...Next Port of Call...St. Petersburg, 
Florida. 
Bounty will be sailing due East out to sea before heading South to avoid the 
brunt of Hurricane Sandy." 

I'm reluctant to question the captain on the boat, but I do have quite a bit of 
bluewater experience in that part of the ocean. When there's already a named 
storm on the map, why the hell are you putting to see and heading right into 
it? 

Cheers, 
Colin

Can't believe a ship like Bounty would get caught in a hurricane, but 
apparently she was reported today sinking and abandoned off Hatteras and USCG 
rescued 14, two still missing?
