Rescue at sea witnessed (long)

[btrayfors]

russgm,

Your post is helpful in understanding this happening and, IMHO, is the most "authentic" thing I've yet read or watched...on this thread or elsewhere.

Bottom line: there's a lot more here than meets the eye.

By the way, the Gulf Stream typically moves at 2-4 knots in a northerly direction (figure a good 50-70 nautical miles every 24 hours).
