quote:

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.

quote:

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


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.

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

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.

You can tell these fools have no real experience with boats. I wouldnt take a 50 year old 28' sailboat across lake P if you paid me $300 to do it.
