Last I heard it was dead in the water and the forecast was for up to 50 ft
seas. Not good.
If they can maneuver to set anchors, maybe they would have a fighting
chance.
I remember once being dead in the water on one of the DE's I was on. It was
off Newport, RI in the middle of the winter .... rough, but not anything
like a hurricane. The ship's main electrical distribution panel blew
something and we were dead. In a matter of minutes we were all ordered to
put on life jackets and set condition zebra or whatever it was where you
shut all water tight doors. That little ship rolled, pitched rocked and
rolled violently for an hour until they repaired the problem and we got
underway again.
