Maybe a rogue wave got it?

Apparently, rogue waves can indeed occur in the Mediterranean!

My mother told me that my first time on a boat was at the age of 6 weeks.

Statistically speaking, he was flirting with disaster.

The superyacht, called the Bayesian, capsized at around 5 a.m.

To be precise, he was flirting with Bayesian statistics.

Similar boat rents for $241,000 per week. perini is not going to like the publicity. Sailboats are made to survive knockdowns and many do. including turning turtle. Ya have to keep the hatches closed when underway tho.

Perini Navi is not cheap and with proper crew batting down hatches ect. should have survived a knockdown.

That thing looks like it would tip over just sitting there.

That’s why it has a keel.

Large mono-hull sailboat capsizes and sinks at anchor. Sounds unlikely to me…

The righting moment on that is crazy strong.

I live about half an hour from where that boat went down. There wasn’t any violent weather or a storm of any kind at that time at my house. I have a weather station - the log says the winds were averaging ~5 mph this morning with a gust of 10 mph. Weird.

It’s confining for the infant, who isn’t even capable of appreciating the experience, and work for the adults.

We were extremely involved parents, but I would never want to drag an infant along on a cruise.

Honestly, I don’t know why I would have to explain this. It’s common sense.

What are Bayesian statistics used for? Predicting vote outcomes? Predicting climate change?
