It doesn't.

If they somehow raise it and try this again, they will be dead inside 6 months.

A POS 50 year old 28 footer should never leave port, yet they were trying to sail it worldwide?

What about insurance?


They sound like liberal hippies. Why would they be responsible and have insurance.

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


Sounds like a mistake that doesn't require contributing to a gofundme.

Then their retirement planning is genius, because chances are there’ll be no funeral expenses.

I don't think "hippies" is the right word for this situation. Some hippies are not dumbasses. Maybe just "Dumasses." I like the sound of that. Seems right.

That's about right. If it's not that deep. A 28 foot boat isn't much to pull up from bottom.

How much could they have paid for a boat that old? Is it worth $10k?
