Default Struggling to Bermuda

Is anyone else following Donna Lange's struggle to reach Bermuda? This is
turning into real drama.

Whatever judgements you make about how she got into this mess, it's a good
thing for anyone who goes deepwater to be reminded what reserves of strength
and endurance we carry. All too many people give up too soon and sometimes
even die as a result.

If this were your typical yachtsman in his half million dollar Beneatau with
a full crew, he would probably already be back on shore with his feet up on
the desk asking his secretary to place a call to the insurance company.
You've got to admire her determination not to push the "Easy Button".
