I read a story in this morning’s paper about the two rescued women. Sounds
like they took enough food to last a year based on advice they received from
experienced ocean-crossing sailors (which these women were not). The article
left the impression that the women were relatively clueless about boat
handling. It also said that the “rigging was damaged.” My guess is that an
experienced sailor would have figured out a way to repair the rigging
sufficiently to sail the boat in some conditions.
