Ken Barnes rescue pictures
It is reported at the end of the CBS story that he had no gash. Seems like
the gash story was something his family dreamed up. == wrote in message ups.com... With masts broken off, steering gone, Plus... I believe that I read somewhere that he had a gash in his thigh. Course... like a lot of others... I sure will be interested in reading his account of what led up to the demise of his vessel. Just maybe... his alleged injury ocurred at or just prior to the time of his having to deal with a severe weather situation. Best regards Bill |

Interesting, I heard on the BBC last night that the gash was "to the bone". I didn't hear of any mention of the number of stiches taken, which number is almost always mentioned by tradition when somebody gets stitches. The thing that struck me was that the waterline of the boat is visible in the photo I've seen. It doesn't look like it's got a meter of water inside. Compare pictures of his boat to pictures of Tami Oldham's boat when it limped into Hilo back in the 80's. She sailed it for nearly 2 months after wrecking in a storm. I was living there when she came in, and the boat was totally trashed. It occurs to me that if Ken had been successful, he'd probably make the news here and there for a couple days. Now, I'll bet he's getting offers from the media, will be a star for quite a while, and many times more than enough money to replace his boat. I hope so. |

What do you think the general public thinks?? |
