With all due respect, Wilbur, until you've sailed in Lake Michigan, which is
pretty shallow in most places (making long-period waves difficult), you have
no idea of how challenging it CAN be.
I'm a bit perplexed about the loss of life, however, as at least some of the
crew managed to get a locator on the end of the keel, and a MOB pole stuck
in the rudder post hole...

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
