On July 21, a Facebook post said “Good morning. One of the biggest adventure in America history. No money no life raft no main sail no nothing, but one of the happest sailor.” His last post, July 30, from near Fiji, mentioned his tiller was damaged, and it was “just current pushing boat, very not clear where end up.”
Not necessary a scam, there are other people just as inept sailing out there.
Looks like the Daily Mail is having a go at the story. They’ve dug into the pasts of the main characters a bit more. The article would probably be NSFW for most offices. You’ve been warned.
That’s what annoys me the most. Fuck, even an Uber driver I had, upon learning what I do responded with “ so did you hear about those two sailors lost after a storm?..”
It does provide some insight into the relationship. I think it also explains why the blonde does all the talking in the interviews. Kind of makes me think that the Samoan gal was hoodwinked.
Also, I’m no expert, but something seems off about her paddling form:
You guys saw those Daily Mail photos and the most interesting comment is about her paddling form?? Tell that Uber driver that none of you deserves to be called a sailor if that’s the best you can do!
How about I repost one Daily Mail picture of her prancercising and then we try again?
Either you’re hitches are too long or mine or too short. I’ve been around that kind of crazy and it just flat out isn’t worth it, no matter what the pictures show.
