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.

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

Wow... after all Joe said/did about his retrofit. It's hard to imagine how
rough it must have been (ocean conditions and psychological effect of having
to abandon her).

I hope we'll hear the first-hand account when Joe gets back and gets
settled.

Fortunately, it was only a thing that was damaged or lost, not a person.

In any case, he was out there doing it, while a lot of others talk a good
act, but in fact do little.

I'm betting (hoping) we don't. I think Neal has a lot of
respect for Joe.

I have not doubt we'll hear from one of Neal's socks
shortly.
