The table was laid for dinner...if she had stood on her side the dishes
would have been scattered or tossed around the cabin. Very strange...

Strange indeed. Aliens, Pirates, near miss with a ship and the crew
panicked.
With the sail blown out she took a hard hit. With a gimbled stove and
those rubber place mats things could look normal in the galley.

Hello??? Its a catamaran! They don't have "gimbaled stoves,"
certainly not any I've seen.

Excuse me..I thought you guys heeled a few inches and would what that
extra cooking comfort.

I've never had any need of "rubber place
mats" and the tables don't even have fiddles. Clearly, if the table
was set, the boat didn't get "flipped," even partially.

swiming and the roller furler opened up and the boat took off.


Also, the jib didn't get blown out from a "hit," it happens from
flogging to death.

Could be a bit of both, see many roller fureling systems flodd to
death he during storms

They even showed the sail flogging before the CG
person went down. They also implied that it had been several days,
easily long enough for a jib to self destruct even in moderate wind.

True.

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?
