Joe, whatever happened to that guy down your way, that faked his death on a
power boat?

I hope he didn't pass on his genes.

This is not your typical California sailor.

Guernsey was STUPID and INEPT when he Redondo
Beach, Calif., last Oct. 8 without a life raft,
without a survival suit, without an EPIRB,
without a single sideband radio, without a
satellite phone. His only communications gear
was a VHF radio.

Oh for God's sake!


He knew the risks. He didn't take an EPIRB because he didn't want to
place
rescuers' lives at risk.

I salute the man. He died doing what he loved - sailing.


He wasn't stupid, or inept. He made his choices. If I die at sea, I
don't
want anybody to complain about the "system".


Regards


Donal

I agree Donal, Looks like he's done many other long distance solo
trips.
Sometime people that live on the edge fall over. And if your not
living on the edge then your just taking up space.

I wouldent give him up for dead just yet. Many have lived over 90 day
adrift in a raft, perhaps he's been dismasted and is still adrift.
