Man, looks like even a seasoned Captain needs some serious second guessing if he sailed himself and his crew into a mess like this.
Idiots?

I was going to try not to get sucked into this debate but if you are comparing three extraordinarily experienced sailors making a delivery (after consulting a weather router) in a well-found seven year old Swan (purchased for more than half a million dollars) to your friend in the other thread -- a novice sailor purchasing a forty year old boat for a price that clearly indicates that it was not up to the task and NOT GETTING A SURVEY -- you clearly are missing the point. But it is quite apparent that you do not change your mind. You prefer to dig in your heels -- no matter how incorrect you might be.
And by the way, your insensitivity is staggering.
