Blow up of pix shows nicely furled jib, badly flaked main,. no apparent damage except to brains of crew apparently.

By the way, they are ready to do back out and try again. :frown: The Navy has assigned the USS Stingray (SS-161) to follow them. :dancing:

What a long strange trip it’s been. AP is now reporting that the USCG is stating they had an emergency beacon which was never activated.

OK, now the story is starting to take shape for me & I feel a little more informed.

An attractive "actress" that nobody ever heard of, who probably needs publicity, was found in perfect health, with a friend & two dogs, who were also in perfect health, in a boat in the ocean, by a Navy ship. Nobody even had sunburn. Their clothes looked clean when they were "rescued". Said actress claims that they have been stuck out there for 5 months, during which time, they sent out many distress signals that nobody got, not even ships that were in sight. She also said that the water maker was broken & they were down to their last gallon of water. She said that the epirb was never activated because they didn't feel that they were in true peril. She said that they had been living off of oatmeal, pasta & rice for months, but they don't show signs of scurvy or other nutritional disorders. They claim that the mast is broken, but it looks OK in the pictures. Sails also look OK. I'm now wondering when she is going to pull out the screen play & try to show it to Harvey Weinstein. Oops, she might be a few weeks too late for that.

I did some digging and found her FB page in almost 10 years she only mentions sailing a couple of times and there were absolutely no pictures of the boat, any trips barely a mention of sailing at all, which I find rather unusual.
