Thanks; I know you have sailed a long way to get where you are, hence I did not want to miss the opportunity of
learning something.

I do not know where they expected to find the raft or the
boat, but the raft was found on Oct 12th at about 29 56 S 46 18W (which is where I plot the "200NM East of Tramandai" reported location), or only about 46 miles S of the
boat position shown in the sat image dated Sep 28th (29 14 S 46 13W).
That Sep 28 position is in turn about 238NM NE of the last reported position of the boat at the time of
distress ( 32 45 S 49 34W according to some sources, or 200NM East of Rio Grande according to others).
