People riding out Irma in sailboats- WTF?

This video raises a number of questions.... such as look at all the boats still in the water. Does everyone just cross their fingers? Hope they get an insurance check? Secretly hate their boats? Is it really that hard to get your boat pulled out of the water or put it on a trailer?

Also someone really needs to find this guy next week, assuming he's still around. He's gonna be a national hero.

I really don't think this guy will survive if he really does this. Sadly, he'll probably die running (swimming?) for safety realizing it was a mistake. It will be too late by then.

Um... At least the sails are down??? Seems like, maybe getting out of the direct path would be a better idea. According to the models, the winds drop to 30 mph by northern Florida.

He also bears a striking resemblance to coconut pete from broken lizard's club dread.

Things are starting to make sense now.

This basically reminds me of one of Ron White's lines about how when a hurricane is coming, people saying how god will protect them and White says "who do you think is sending the hurricane?".
