There's a reason the old sailing navies used hammocks.

I'm sure that you are aware of the Disaster of El Faro. The Captain felt tremendous pressure to avoid delays and decided to "Tickle the Dragon's Tail" and sail really close to a massive hurricane. He relied on weather reports that were changing by the minute. The latest said that the hurricane had changed course and was headed straight to his ship. Although we have the black box from the bridge, I can't even imagine how bad that last night must have been. The disaster was so unusual that several books have been written about it, in the 21st Century, large container vessels are supposed to have plenty of data to keep them from heading straight into hurricanes.

Yes, as the Yacht Express is responsible for the safety of its cargo in this case the yachts on board. But, Tristan is also there. He is the captain of the AWOL. A captains job never sleeps. Does not matter that the boat is out of water. Tristan as that ships captain is responsible for that vessel. Sure it is the responsibility of the carrier but also Tristan has a responsibility too. He must make sure his vessel is safe at all times..... Remember the three rules of a captain. 1. Crew/passenger safety. 2. Vessel safety and 3. environment safety.... If I am wrong. I stand to be corrected but pretty sure am not.
