And the latest I found. From reading this article, I believe the
owner has written the boat off.http://www.ybw.com/auto/newsdesk/200...253ymnews.html

Why did they abandon in the first place. if the boat wasn't sinking
and could hold up another six months at sea without any hands onboard
it seems that getting off the boat is more dangerous than staying on
unless someone is hurt.
