Background: We bought our 1977 Sea Ray SRV two weeks ago. She has a new
bilge pump and steering cables; while the steering cables were installed
we had the bellows checked and the engine compression tested (both were
fine). She has a fish finder, VHF radio, flares, running lights, PFDs,
fenders, lines, etc.

DF- I don't support the flames, as I would hope that we would help to
educate and support each other. It's unlikely that anyone learns
anything from humiliation, except to never tell their experience
again.
I'm happy that you you and your SO had "an experience", and that you
arrived safely home. By now, I am sure that you are aware that you
need to take more stringent safety precautions, and understand the
value of GPS.
Your trip was not safe, but you survived it, and (I hope) learned from
it. Your next trip will be better, and safer. I'll bet on it.
Regards,
....carry on.
