I'm optomistic that no news is good news. 
In Response To: Tom Young-- ()
My only info comes from the DooDah net weather check in reports that are streamed later(usually a day) on the SDR website. Many of the boats are not on the SDR gps tracking.
RUFFIANS friends on SERAFINA have lost touch with them but I assume they're nearby but out of radio range. They also could be out of any onboard power. They have a water generator/wind gen combo and a solar panel, but conditions reported on SERAFINAS last two blog posts(scroll down below their gps location in the website below) might make using them difficult.
If RUFFIAN is nearby, they're about 350nm out. As you'll see on the SERAFINA's last blog post(interesting), conditions are very flukey.
