I don’t see why that is a problem. The real question is now they got “lost”. Did they have no navigational capability? No solar or wind power? Also, they lost their cell phone overboard the first day. What use is a cell phone in the Pacific Ocean? Lots more to hear on this one.

Story on news tonight about a sailboat that was stranded in the Pacific for 5months after their engine broke down on an otherwise functional boat. Apparently the crew survived as they had a water maker and a year’s supply of oatmeal. Something not add up here?
