To give some context to Capt. Miller’s remarks, he and several of the teachers at Maine do work or have worked for SEA in woods hole onboard their sail training vessels.
During the aux sail and meteorology classes himself and several other professors talk about that organizations approach to hurricane avoidance as a team effort between the master, the office, and at times a third party weather routing service. With a captain shoreside gathering information and plotting updates in a nice warm office that isn’t moving, in order to have a second set of experienced eyes with a much lower stress and work load looking at the situation. Factor in professional meteorological information in the conversation as well and you have in my opinion a pretty well developed plan.
Or you could have a QI who doesn’t know his ship is near a hurricane and a weather service that just regurgitates NOAA’s information with a time delay.
