She sailed from Florida last Tuesday, right into the storm.

That’s the question. My guess is the company puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the captain to save fuel and time.

Someone had posted on another thread yesterday that the hurricane at that time was a TS and most models had it going north. Also, the Captain is/was a 20+ year ship master with lots of rough seas experience and was heading south and east to Puerto Rico.

Sometimes it just happens.

Prayers up!
