Staying with it would have been the wrong choice. Tough decisions out there.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-83119590972046390312016-11-28T19:02:41.321-06:002016-11-28T19:02:41.321-06:00The oceans are huge and unforgiving.

That is a lot of area to get lost in, especially without landmarks.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-86467164928458540542016-11-28T10:02:13.030-06:002016-11-28T10:02:13.030-06:00Wow really get the mind working don't it.Wow really get the mind working don't it.Two Cedars Micro-Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065617431047553046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-47610565968590481632016-11-28T08:45:47.654-06:002016-11-28T08:45:47.654-06:00Hey Rob...

You have to admire those people with enough passion for their choice to set out knowing the dangers.<br /><br />I wonder if there would be any story if the sailboat had not been found adrift? There are a great many souls who go out & are never heard from again every year.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-63784702703633291802016-11-28T08:19:56.677-06:002016-11-28T08:19:56.677-06:00I think I'm with with you on what happened.

Stands to reason if the boat was badly damaged what chance could he have in a smaller on, or the he was throw over board and that little skiff was ripped away in the storm. But who knows. Great mystery though<br /><br />We had a good storm come through here last night.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.com
