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

This answers a lot of what people have asked in this thread. They basically say:

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

Good on you man. Don't say a damn word to anyone for a few weeks. There is no way you can win in that conversation. Let the press get bored and move on. We will still all be here in two weeks.

It comes directly out of a closed Facebook group that Charlotte's sister is actively involved in, so it seem highly unlikely it is not legit.

Knox-Johnson would be supportive and consoling. Bernard would say "Puis-je avoir une autre cigarette".

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

Ouch. Was not aware of that particular baggage. A little before my time.

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

The only sources getting information from Eric and Charlotte are the National Guard (they are on the boat) and the family (they are personally talking to Eric and Charlotte). When the people on the...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

If the national guard is to be believed, they have no steering, so that kind of limits your options I would guess.

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

It will always be those who have no idea what they are talking about that criticize the most harshly and the loudest. People who do, will always be abused by those who do not. The Timid never approve...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

This is the third article I have read "their trip ended after just two weeks". That is lame. I seem to recall they have been traveling for more like two years.
