Huum... interesting point.. my guess: Skip and Lydia aren't nuts.

So, after close scientific study .. if you are nuts, and sailing in a
hurricane, you will survive.

If you are normal and sailing along the coast of Florida ,, you will go
aground and sink.

Now compare all that you have read from skip and lydia and remember
their boat is TWICE the size she is sailing.

Why do you equate going aground with sinking? Very few groundings result
in the vessel sinking? I sail in Florida year round and have go aground
a couple of times in a marked channel that had shoaled but I didn't sink.

Well then :::: since going aground does not mean sinking especially if in
Florida ..

The new and improved answer to the scientific question .. is:

When in Florida, never leave the dock. When in a hurricane, never have
anyone but Donna Lange at the helm.

And if you bump into Skip and Lydia ,,, they probably are both drunk, lost,
and its your fault.

Science is such a tough subject.
