Obviously not "flipped" - the table was set and there was food out.
If the boat had heeled even 20 degrees it would be a mess.


You don't think the wind died and they got in the dingy to take
pictures of the boat with her sails up? Wind comes up, boat goes
away.

Its hard to imagine anyone being that stupid. These were grown men,
not drunk college kids.

The fenders down and the engine running (presumably at idle, if it had
be running for several days) makes me wonder if there was some sort of
outside intervention. Drug rendezvous? Pirates? Mermaids?
