... you were fleet captain for your fleet and you said you pushed the fleet (I guess telling everyone not to dilly dally and hurry along in to port?) to avoid the big seas. Maybe his fleet captain did or did not do something similar.

My guess is that someone knows something of why he did what he did and unfortunately someone is dead because of it but maybe this and maybe that doesn't help anyone at this point.

As far as publicly calling this guy names at a time like this, come on man, that is just so wrong in so many ways don'tcha think?

Perhaps he is as good of a sailor as you but made a poor decision in a stressful time.
