Absolutely unfathomable to me, what the hell they were doing in between the eye and track of Sandy, and Cape Hatteras, after having left New London CT on Thursday...

Some reports are claiming they initially sailed due East to get "well clear" of the storm... How they managed to find themselves west of the eye 4 days later remains a mystery...

Fortunately, all the crew are safe, but I'd sure be interested in hearing the Captain's explanation for this one...

best regards,
