Not for leaving the boat, he made several mistakes earlier. Including letting the 3rd mate have the wheel!

The arrest is simply a witch hunt to save face by the country. I'll bet a dollar to a donut there were several overlooked safety issues and or inspections ignored by the government. It will come out


Well which is it? Did he make several mistakes that lead to his boat sinking and a sever loss of human life or is it a witch hunt?

Maybe witch hunt was a poor choice of words. Scape goat might fit better. I'm sure if a 3rd mate was driving its frowned upon. But I bet the guy has driven parts if trips several times. So I have little doubt they will find anything they can against the captain.
I also have no doubt there were issues with the boat and it's regulation. Some things will be found to be overlooked/ignored.
That big boy had something wrong with it to roll like that.....a design flaw, overloaded, etc.
