The American search and rescue teams seem to have been first rate.if not this thing might have been worse.being a Bluenoser who grew up in Lunenburg I know just how mean and dangerous the ocean can be.I hate to hear of lives lost at sea and there have been many and to lose crewmembers and a ship like HMS Bounty which had no real good reason to be out there at all this time is unfathomable. I hate this story and want it to end.

I suspect they don't mean to come across as American-centric insensitive pricks. But they did. Probably just sloppy writing.

If you look at their FB postings from Oct 25, it was clear that they knew about the storm before heading out. Would the boat have been wrecked had they stayed in New London? Maybe... but if they'd used the last few days to secure the boat rather than sail head first into the shit, then maybe things would have turned out much better than they did.
