A sad day indeed. I was hoping you were playing a tasteless joke. Not
only do they lose their boat, but also their home. A very sad day.

Is there a fund/account where we could send Joe and Terry some money to help
them out? If you know of it please put up the info.

That is truly sad news. At least they're all okay, even the
dog.

Joe's been through a lot of stuff on the water, I'm sure
he'll bounce back from this.

Once again, thank God for the Coast Guard!

Terrible news. I'm so glad they are okay though. Joe will live to sail
another day.

A sad day

Yes it is... I've certainly enjoyed Joe's postings and
contributions particularly those having to do with sailing
and general marine info.

He is a man of maritime experience and knowledge.

I wonder if an attempt will be made to salvage Red Cloud
or will it be deemed a hazard and sunk assuming it is still
afloat?

Thanks again Jeff for the alert/thread.

One news report stated that Joe was looking into the possibility of
salvaging Red Cloud.

Certainly a sad day for Joe and Terry, but thank God that they are back
safe and (mostly) sound. Apparently this was a rather difficult rescue
situation for the CC.

Incidentally, if the group decides to organize a collection, I would
want to contribute. I'm assuming his insurance would cover most related
expenses.

That is very sad news... Joe was very proud of Red Cloud and she
represented a huge investment.... not just money, but his work &
spirit. It was kind of a zany idea to import coffee under sail, maybe
it would have worked out profitably.

I am very sad to hear about the end of this adventure, and am hoping
to hear the tale from Joe himself.

Sincerely
