I'm a sailor, this is sailing rescue. I just need enough background on the family to support what they're doing, or call them phonies if they are. I'll get the first wave of info, weigh it, and then I rest until the next wave of real info comes in(I'm waiting for that on this rescue).

Some people live these events, and that's fine, but sailing blogs are long, unedited, too often boring, and a dime a dozen. I'll let you make the calls on their blogs.
