Of course, I have seen what they have done. I am simply saying that it would not be adequate against a storm as powerful as Katrina. And I know howe powerful North Atlantic storms are. I was aboard the QEII a couple of years ago. It was more than five hundred miles from Land-ends sailign west when the edge of a storm hit it astern. Really felt it. Really rough waters for the next two days until we were just north of the Azores.
Yep, I went through a full blown gale in the North Sea. Truly awesome!
