What the storm means...

[debgeisler]

...depends on who you ask. Hurricane Sandy was responsible for a a lot of damage, but I can't think of a scarier place to be in such a storm than in a tall ship at sea.

Right now, we're watching the story of the HMS Bounty sinking and rescue (recorded from the Weather Channel this evening)...and, sitting on the couch watching it with us is Doug Faunt, one of the survivors. Really? It doesn't get any more fascinating. He's having us stop it occasionally to point things out or give us more information.

And, of course, we get to watch him being interviewed on the actual show, too.

Wicked cool.

It was a fascinating hour...however...I still have to question what the captain did. It's easy to Monday-morning quarterback. Yes, old ships sometimes survived big storms, but they also sometimes when down... I'm glad Doug made it home.
