wow , thanks for finding that. only one

[Jiggin Junkie]

only one so far, but he told Coast Guard that they were all together as of 2 am this morning so there is still hope. He also said they all had on life vests.

He also said they all had on life vests.

That's a good break for them. Also, now that they know where they are/were it helps narrow the search.

What's the water temp down there?

[Jiggin Junkie]

They were reporting 60 degrees but they said the one found only had a few degrees lower body temp than normal, so We can only hope.

[Russell A. Jost]

It's only 62 to 63 degrees. An EPIRIB or personnal locators would have been a blessing.

I have faith in the US Coast Guard that they will be able to find the remaining passengers now that they have a good idea where they drifted to. I hope they are still ok. Just goes to show you maybe its worth spending that 200-500 for an EPIRB, at least one no matter how experienced someone is.
