Hard to believe that they waited so long before pushing north, trying to outrun the storm--They left their mooring in Portsmouth on Friday?

Really, they wanted to outrun the storm. No wonder they didn't want to be identified.

Here's a link to a news story about the Hunter and its owner's many troubles.
Boater rescued during Irene has trouble on land | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

There is a good thread on SailboatOwner's as well.

A surfboat or a Coast Guard 50 footer like they use at Cape Disappointment.
