Default Donna Lange

Charlie,,, I just looked and she posted that she was at Lat 32* N .. 69* w.

She is 5* lat west of Bermuda..

And the wind is blowing from the south/southwest toward Bermuda.

Would seem to me that she could make it to Bermuda ..

But.. I'm not out in the middle of it.


And damn glad I'm not.

Huum... interesting point.. my guess: Skip and Lydia aren't nuts.

So, after close scientific study .. if you are nuts, and sailing in a
hurricane, you will survive.

If you are normal and sailing along the coast of Florida ,, you will go
aground and sink.

this is one tough woman! Holy ****!



Now compare all that you have read from skip and lydia and remember
their boat is TWICE the size she is sailing.



Why do you equate going aground with sinking? Very few groundings result
in the vessel sinking? I sail in Florida year round and have go aground
a couple of times in a marked channel that had shoaled but I didn't sink.

Going aground sinks a lot of boats. So does careless maintenance. FWIW,
Donna
Lange lost her sea anchor this afternoon, so her list of options has
radically
changed. She's headed for Bermuda.
