          • The last picture of Viewfinder drifting away, lost at sea
            • So sad, Blye. How's your friend doing?
              • They're doing fine. In fact, they say they're looking for another boat already.
                • (assuming insured), suppose they'll get a check for the insured value?
                  • It was insured and I hope the settlement goes well for them. They aren't broke, and I doubt would have to wait for $$$
            • More pics
              • One happy (at last) crew
            • Why did they have the headsail deployed?
              • On his blog post he says he kept what little of the genoa sail he had out to keep Viewfinder as steady as possible
