So a couple from Colorado decides that a few months a living aboard their boat is enough time to learn how to sail it? And who believes a 28' sailboat is suitable for sailing the world?
They have started a Go Fund me page to help save them from their own idiocy.

The couple moved onto the 28-foot boat, which was in the marina of Tarpon Springs, a town on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and lived there for months with their two-year-old pug, Remy, while they stocked up on food and supplies.

Nearly two days into their venture, the couple’s boat capsized in a channel of water called John’s Pass.

Looks like they'll have to move back in with their daughter:

They didn't have any. They also didn't know how to sail.

What happened to the days when people took responsibility for their actions?

Probably crashed it whilst making a dope music video

At least they were between the navigational beacons

They've already gotten $11,226 on their GoFundMe page. I don't understand this world.

It appears they have it figured out more than us

They’ve already raised over 11 K.

likely was a piece of shite of sorts.

They left before the sun came up that day

Kicker is that capsizing in the channel probably saved their lives. If those idiots had gotten to open water they would have died and no one would have noticed.

frick all that did Remy make it?
Posted on 2/12/18 at 9:13 am to Dan Bilzerian
I read about this yesterday, and assuming I read the article correctly, the couple’s amassed wealth was $5000 for the boat and $5000 to have it made seaworthy.
If $10000 gets you to retirement, I’m doing this shite all wrong.
