Many of us focus on whether our boats are up to the task, whether they are "bluewater capable," and whether they can weather a storm of this magnitude. Obviously a 42 foot Valiant is a very capable boat. But this story brings to mind another danger: going offshore with inexperienced crew. It sounds like they just panicked. And when two or three of the five people on your boat panic, what can you do, besides try to talk them out of it? This is a very sad story.
