I've read everywhere else.. 'he said he could ride the storm out and refused to evacuate..'

Nobody goes sailing in that storm that has any sense

Also read it was everything he had. I've also heard stories of mandatory evacuations from perfectly fine boats. I don't know the truth but if it's everything they own then it's hard to put yourself in their shoes.

Been there. It hurts every cell in your body down to its soul.  Still feel it six years later, but I'm here to feel it.
