Yes, I believe Hebe was the name of the boat. Of course following on from earlier threads I was a bit bemused to see the occupants apparently not wearing life jackets.
Now I am a firm believer in the Captain being Master of their Ship, and that you have every right to go down with the boat, and so that offers an explanation for the Captain not wearing a life jacket. I would think it somewhat remiss for the Captain not to have the passenger, and hence at best a mate, wearing a life jacket. This is the problem wiht command, you have to tell people what to do even people you love.
