I know the rules...(about politics and religion) but I don't think it mention's stupidity, however induced. Instead of rehashing the particulars I'll direct you here, (where there are no such rules):

Hey, you know what they say... "The Titanic was built by professionals..."

How about some "raw faith" in the marine forecast?

Yes, like waiting till May before you take a ship like this down the Atlantic coast. There are no weather windows big enough for something that moves at 4 knots, and never to windward, this time of year.....

Another well meaning but dangerously flawed effort. IMHO these folks should be barred from transporting anyone (able-bodied or otherwise) until they can meet the appropriate commercial and USCG safety inspection standards.

It's fortunate nobody was lost at sea.
