Very sad. This is a good reminder of why good rescue beacons are a must if you're going into the deep ocean, or anywhere isolated from cell service.

The CG doesn't expend resources to tow in derelict boats, especially small ones like that. They will issue a notice to Mariners so people who are sailing in that area will know it's out there. To be honest I'm surprised it's only to Bermuda. I figured they would have found it off Nova Scotia or even Ireland. |

I want the best odds of being found. Then they probably didn't put a swimmer in the water to check under the boat for bodies either. IIRC they did. Look at the sinking of the SS El Faro. The CG spotted a lifeboat from the vessel and had a swimmer search it. A deceased member of the crew was found. The search effort was still underway so they left the lifeboat and the deceased drift away. As I stated earlier: the CG is not in the property recovery business, or really the recovery of the deceased either. This standpoint is harsh, but it's the reality of being on the water. |

Yup the CG only airlifts living casualties out. If you are already dead you have to wait until the vessel gets to land.
The deceased member of the El Faro was already dead and as harsh as it sounds finding and rescuing potential survivors is much higher on the priorities list than recovering a body. I work on the water and I know I would rather the CG keep looking for living shipmates instead of recovering my body. The sea is a cruel mistress.

Very surprised a SeaCraft is still floating that long after it went adrift. They are tail-heavy boats that don't self-bail all that well in the best of times and that boat with a dead bilge pump, and still floating is beyond mind-blowing (I've owned a number of SeaCraft's, including the exact model in the story).

Experienced but went into a storm Everyone makes these kids out to be some sort of boating prodigy, but the simple fact was, they could NOT be. Experience and wisdom cannot be bought at the bait stand. No PFD's worn, no EPIRB, no float plan, iirc no radio, ignored the weather. All things an experienced boater would have had or noticed. The same things that kill boaters everywhere year after year. |

I doubt that CG helos do that kind of lifting. A Chinook would be better for that. So if they put a rescue jumper in the water, they can't tie a beacon to the boat so the tow guys can find it so the damn thing doesn't have to be accidentally found and get hauled all the way to Norway just to be shipped back to Fla? It's a big deal that two boys are missing, and all that time and money is spent on the search but marking and retrieving the boat and its contents doesn't matter? I don't claim to be a search & rescue expert but something seems kind of weird here - finding the boat and then just letting it drift for a few days. Maybe the story is lacking some details. |

Quoted:
GD really does hate everything. Now we hate the Coast Guard. The CG found the boat back when they first went missing. There was no one on board so they left it and it went on its merry way. Like others have said, the Coast Guard is not in the salvage business. Trust me I know. CG used to salvage, then got sued by salvage companies. You'd think GD would be ok with the .gov not doing something the market can do. I guess GD wants bigger .gov now. |
