Very sad.



Sounds like they were inexperienced. Sad tale. Although I was unaware of
these guys, I wish that they could have succeeded.

Joe is VERY experienced. So is Terry, his wife. They
are/were both licensed captains and used to work on various
sized boats/ships.

Can you imagine the stress of an EXTRA 5 tons, above the waterline
probably, flogging around in 20' seas? They should have been jettisoning
Coffee overboard by the sack very early. No wonder she came apart! These
boats aren't stressed for that kind of loading!

Sad, indeed. He must have had HF/SSB aboard to call the hams, maybe on
14.300 Mhz. I wonder what he was doing out there without a 406 Mhz EPIRB?
The story or video made no mention of an EPIRB alarm.

Sounded like the mainmast must have busted loose and was tearing the cabin
roof apart.

Glad they're all safe....including the dog.
