One of the ships my dad sailed on, Reina del Mar

 

 

I'm hoping that's just a euphemism that everyone is too scared to ask the details of

 

(He also claimed that he sailed out of Sidi Barahni on the Old Wakkatonga. Strange cat, my dad.)

"Two US yachtswomen and their two dogs have been rescued by the US Navy after spending nearly five months adrift in the Pacific Ocean, officials say."

This story. Is this believable? I mean, five months, "shark-bait", "30-feet long sharks" slamming into the boat? I remember when there was some story about some Mexican guy surviving at open sea for months, Western media quickly began ridiculing him, these two American woman seem to be taken at face value.

Don't believe the 30ft sharks for a start

[Fugitive]

They had a water purifier and a years worth of food... no biggie.

 

Typical woman drivers *awaits Hades, the big twat*

[Guest Pistonbroke]

They looked like a pair of lezzers, I'm guessing the dogs got some action n all. 

[SasaS]

Dogs will probably rat them out for a juicy steak eventually. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

No doubt they'll be TV personalities before long, book and film in the offing. $$$

It's got sails by the look of it so why should the engines failing mean they were adrift?

It's bullshit

[neko]

It's a fucking sail boat.

[Lee909]

claiming that a group of seven 30ft-long sharks slapped their tails on the hull of the ship one night.

 

 

So in the middle of the night she could see and count 7 30ft sharks

 

 

There would be little to no light

everyone overstates the length of the sharks

There has only been a very few great white verified at 20-21ft let alone 30ft

 

Even killer whales rarely get to 30ft

Apparently, the sail broke as well.

 

The smell of shite is strong.

So, what you are saying, the women didn't need a bigger boat?

Same here.

 

Isn't it just basic common sense amongst the sea going folk to have a radio and one of those beacon things that activate once they go in water?
