Big Tuna, For the record this is not the same captain that ran this boat in the bahamas a couple of years ago. That captain is a first class individual who knows how to run a boat. I can also bet he wouldn't be under the influence while operating one. That wave was a freak incident that came up at the wrong time. The boat was at the point of no return when the wave built up.

He did the right thing. Believe me, I was there.
As for this incident, new owner, new captain, new part of the world, so why bring up the past. What a shame though, as I was the mate on this rig during the 04 season in O.C. when she was new, as well as one of the mate's during the first leg of the said 05 BBC where she was leased.
