Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

Unfortunately when you read RHs blog, as a sailor you wince, yes they are describing their reality. But as a group, sailors don't do this. We don't really relate the personal issues. The fear, the...

While you have good intentions , what you say is just speculation. We know some facts , a rescue was mounted, a baby was treated and the boat was abandoned. Furthermore we have in existence the...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

Who is he ?

Undoubtably, whether kids should be " best behaved", mature and responsible is another thing entirely. Primarily they should be kids not small adults. They'll have enough of maturity etc later on to...

That's not the issue, a decision was made to medivac the child. The family went with her , do you seriously expect anything else to matter. Who cares about the boat. It's utterly irrelevant and I...

What does it matter about the boat. I would not expect a father to abandon his family in favour of a plastic boat.

I must say the whole rescue is a tribute to the air national guard and the US navy. An air based rescue at 900 miles is no mean feat. Being involved in SAR here, we would struggle to deploy that...
