“I have no interest in debating you,”

Good.

“go try your grumpy act on someone else.”

Act? I don’t suffer fools at all, except for visiting relatives.

“I’m sharing my thoughts on what was posted, that is what we do here on free republic.”

And I never said that the crew was blameless. I don’t know. They might have some share in the responsibility for allowing crucial equipment to deteriorate. They might not. At this point, what difference does it make.

The shoal was not the cause, and neither was there a freak wave. It was the clamps and the vent pipe, which were in place but insufficient for the weather. And maybe, just maybe, the hold was overladen, which would be the captain’s fault, or the owners’. But the documentary does not touch on that subject. OK?
