Correct me if I'm wrong, but this recent Northeaster was pretty well forecast in advance, no...?

So, then, what the hell would somebody be doing off Cape Fear/Frying Pan Shoals Thursday night on a 63 foot sailboat? UFB, reminiscent of those clowns who tried to take an Island Packet SP Cruiser out around Hatteras last winter, right when the year's largest Northeaster and blizzard was developing, and had to abandon...

As usual, another sea story that apparently begins with a sailboat "losing power"... Damn, I'd love to hear more about this one, anyone know of a 63-footer named EMMANUEL?
