I guess he apparently overrode the computer system so he could sail closer to some island or something like that. Either way, yeah he's screwed

Just an unbelievable story all around.

What a pathetic display by this so called captain.

I just do not get how these things happen. I have decent electronics on my boat and if I was crusing something that big I'd have three warnings that would go off. The first is on the radar where I can set an alarm to go off if anything gets within a set distance. The the depth finder has a warning alarm if I'm heading into water of a certain depth which I can choose when the alarm goes off. Then your GPS chart plotter gives your location, locaction of land, and it gives depths and warnings about hazards in and around you. If you have ever watched the show Whale Wars remember the alarms going off as they get closer to the other ships. Thats what these captains would hear. You cannot ignor them. Well, maybe you can.LOL
