Based on the wording of the response, and a review of the ship tracking data, it appears that Zuckerburgs yacht may have been actively communicating on a different channel, and once they switched back, the assistance from the cruise ship was already underway.

Again, more facts may be revealed, but as of right now, I don;'t see any reason to believe the crew did anything wrong.

A yacht with their budget has multiple VHF radios to monitor multiple channels.

The Launchpad didn’t break any laws they just revealed themselves to be a failure in good seamanship.

I can tell you think they did not do anything wrong. My guess is you have no training in the rules of the sea.

There is a reason why the cruise ship captain made a stink. There is code of conduct we try to live up and the Launchpad didn’t live up to expectations that other Captains hold sacred. It’s offensive.

My code of conduct is to not criticize another human being without the facts. As I have stated countless times, I accept that there are many unknowns, if more facts come available that demonstrate negligence, I will accept them and expect accountability.

		That is a good code. I personally have all the facts I need to form an opinion. I don't even think we disagree on the facts. I think we just disagree on the obligations of a captain at sea.
