My buddy lost his boat in New Bedford last year.
Boats piled on boats which piled on boats.
All plasure boats...it just takes on knucklehead to start the chain reaction.

New Bedford... the "Harbor of Refuge"... is the only harbor I know of on the
South Coast that lost multiple boats during Irene. There should have been an
investigation into that one. Unlike most harbors around here, that is a
commercial harbor with a large fishing fleet. So you'd think the harbor would
be run by professionals who'd ensure boats were properly anchored and on
correctly sized moorings. Not to mention the multi-million dollar hurricane
barrier built in the 1960's. We'll see what happens this time around.
My 25 road out Irene on it's mooring in Mattapoisett. Was nearly hit by a Cape
Dory 28 on it's way to the beach. The Cape Dory hit a larger target instead...
a Catalina 36. Other than that near miss my boat was OK. Not saying I'd take
that chance again, though.

New
Bedford showed its worth during Irene last year.
All
the larger boats that chose to moor there were smashed up, including one
belonging to a friend of mine.
He is
very sorry he didn't just stay at Marths's Vineyard.

There are at least two "harbors of refuge" reasonably close to New London -
Point Judith and New Bedford

would not be a safe haven either. But Bermuda or Azores or Spain would
have been a nice safe place before heading to Florida.

The storm was already hurricane strength and
heading their way BEFORE they left New London.
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?
Cheers,
Colin

Can't believe a ship like

today sinking and abandoned off Hatteras and USCG rescued 14, two still
missing?
