Re: Father and his kids missing at sea

Your boat sails onward at 7 knots on autopilot and you have no hope to swim and catch up.

Re: Father and his kids missing at sea

Well for the tin foil hat wearers that want to have full protection from meteorites....

Re: Father and his kids missing at sea

Where it happened vs where the debris got found appx 3 days later... You'd have to look up the currents and see where they most likely were at time of sinking.

Re: Father and his kids missing at sea

Re: Father and his kids missing at sea
