My understanding, 2nd or 3rd hand, is that the crew of Aegean may have been drinking. That may explain why they were unable to successfully extract themselves from the vessel after it ran aground, and perhaps why there was apparently no watch on deck that night.

Why go that negative speculation route when you have a report to read that covers this and multiple press reports easily findable online all that will show the coroner found no alcohol in the first four bodies found. One of those bodies did test positive for Marijuana (seemingly a low dose since it seems to have been dismissed as an issue). The skipper/owner's body was not found early enough to do an alcohol test. So no, certainly the "crew" was not drinking. And show me one yacht crew where the skipper is going to be drinking while the crew is not...?
