re: #146 Rightwingconspirator

Is anyone else following the story on the young lady sailor? Lost out there between Australia and Madagascar. She has activated her EPIRB, not the automatic one, the manual one. A call for help 2000 miles from land, in heavy seas.

Saw that. 16 years old, and the nearest ship is 40 hours away. Her parents are soliciting anyone with in the area with an aircraft to help look for her.

On the plus side, she has extensive emergency equipment and supplies. But the remote location makes the situation dire.
