re Liability.
I seem to remember that the Westsail 32 that was abandoned during 'The
Perfect Storm' was actually doing fine by the captain, and it was the
pickup crew who went hysterical and called the USCG for rescue. The
captain set the boat up and tucked himself into the quarterberth and was
ready to ride it out. (One account says he took a bottle with him into
the quarterberth, and I would probably do the same thing under the
circumstances.)
My point being that he was taken off the boat because he was a licensed
captain, and disregarding a direct order from the USCG would cost him
his license. He didn't want to go.
It turns out he was right, and the boat ended up on the New Jersey shore
in very good condition.
