Because St. Petersburg, FL is (was!) a paid appearance. These vessels operate on appearance fees. That said, this decision was negligence bordering on criminal. If the missing crew members are lost, there will be jail time.

This is their Facebook post from Oct 25, the day they left. "Bounty has departed New London CT...Next Port of Call...St. Petersburg, Florida. Bounty will be sailing due East out to sea before heading South to avoid the brunt of Hurricane Sandy." I'm reluctant to question the captain on the boat, but I do have quite a bit of bluewater experience in that part of the ocean. When there's already a named storm on the map, why the hell are you putting to see and heading right into it?
