Age and seaworthyness of a vessel may or may not be a relationship to paint with a broad stroke.

We have no idea what the captain was planning to do enroute about missing the eye of even a CAT 1 let alone a CAT 4 storm. Something definitely related to the estimation of what the vessel could safely endure.

The only thing we know for sure (last I piced together)....is the accident did happen and lack of propulsion may have been a contributing factor. Not much to go on.
