A little common sense goes a long way...like checking the tide tables and weather forecast. Sad, but was pretty much complete avoidable.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Thanks for the downer there . . . . . . .

That is one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. I can't imagine the horror they all felt. Talk about one emotion extreme to the opposite. My prayers are with them.

Ouch!!!

Um, 22 year old and a 45 year old? I agree, very said story, but the cynic in me, makes me wonder. I can barley put up with a 22 year old, and I'm 27.
