Update:

The first mate (nicknamed "Blue") and 29 year old Gina Bortolotti, the
chef, were engaged, and had recently bought a house in northern
California. She had a pulse after the collision and he kept her afloat
in the water, but she did not survive. Here is her website:

She looks like a sweetheart. What a tragedy. She did live a full and
vibrant life.

I don't know about that Bart, if you read the web-site you see both
were planning on getting off the boat and moving ashore. They just
bought a house.

After many years straight crusing, sailing, working offshore, it can
get very old and become a job. One of the things we always hated about
it was being told were to go, when to go, when to leave, when to get
back..ect..ect..ect. Gina mentions it in the logs on-line how they
barely got ashore to see much due to the demands of the job.

From what I know about it, which is not much ( having limited contact
with Yacht Masters) it is a job worse than running an oil field boat
when it comes to bull****, headaches and dealing with clueless
un-caring assholes.
