That is a presumptuous statement. I have and will continue to keep a good watch using a competent team of 3. The trick is a good watch schedule that works with people's circadian rhythm.

At some point the inquiry into the incident will be completed and (hopefully) the results shared. Until that time the people involved are doing the smart thing- NOT trying the case on the internet.

Thanks - you beat me to it.

I’d be happy to share more but there is a court case grinding it’s way through the Spanish legal system at this time, and I can’t say much until then. So just like my potential payout for the lost vessel, y’all will have to hang on a bit for the findings / more info.
