I was standing by my dock the night of the accident and saw the Mount heading into the Broads. It was extremely windy accompanied by very high waves. It was one of the worst nights for boating in my opinion. My wife questioned whether even the Mount should be out on this night. At the time, I tought the displacement and size of the Mount could handle it.

You thought correctly.
Take a ride on the Mount when the wind is from the NW about 25 - 30 mph and you will realize the Mount is a stabile platform.
Leave your wife home. She will want a bigger boat when she realizes the advantage of size in rough conditions, should you take her along for the ride.
