So we actually agree? The system was seriously flawed but the Crew should have caught it anyway as there were multiple and pretty obvious indications that competent sailors should have caught. Jim G To a point. I don't think the system was "seriously" flawed, since SOP and good training should have caught it, with the system as is/was. I tend to use "competent" in a stricter sense .... they may well have been competent mariners, but they sure screwed up. If I have a beef, it would be (as expected) with simply doubling up on GPS, especially on approaching Nantucket. Although a 2nd GPS would be nice (and generally standard), I would still prefer that double checks would involve different systems..... Radar, Loran, Fathometer, Visual..... when available. otn |
