I to listened to the recorded communication from the Coast Guard radioman. We are only hearing one side and there is some thing missing. Garbled information from the boat? Who knows.
We have been in the Conception, the berthing area is open to egress and there is a 2’ x 2’ emergency hatch above one of the bunks. Nobody can be locked in as the conversation goes. This truly is a tragic mystery that I hope the crew can shed some insight to. Everything was varnished dry teak,so that just accelerated the fire
All the pictures and video that showed the exposed areas just above the waterline and deck is where everyone was sleeping.[emoji22]
