If you watch nothing else, watch what happens at 4:00. One comment I read (on a blog) said that any experienced sailor would have never taken a craft like that out in this kind of weather.

The pressure to take a boat or ship out can be extreme. For commercial fishermen, you don't fish, you don't make any money. For others, it may be a schedule problem.
My FIL's neighbor is the captain of a container ship. It has an A crew and a B crew, plying a regular route between Houston and Amsterdam. The ship runs a tight schedule. A couple of years back, he was under intense pressure to take his ship through a storm, in order to keep that schedule. As captain, he refused, changing his route and losing a day and a half. He had to come before a committee at work to explain his actions, because of the money lost.
