Tofino whale-watching boat capsized after wave struck, says TSB
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c ... -1.3291530The skipper may have 20 yrs experience, but going abeam to the swells and then everybody standing topside on one side of the boat doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
No shit. The Captains lack of attention to his surroundings and blatant disregard of standard safe ship handling practices is going to cost the company a ton of money especially, given that extremely large rollers are always coming off the Pacific with no warning at this time of year.
I fully expect the Captain to be charged with criminal negligence causing death much like the Bridge Watchkeeper on the Queen of the North.
