Terrible news, been watching it on the local news...... Hoping for the best....
|
By evidence of the boat being found so far North definitely means they were in the stream.
If they are in the water they are up in the Outerbanks by now. |
^^^ Sad, but true.

This news has me saddened and terrified! First, I simply cannot imagine floating miles away from shore in the ocean. Forgive my ignorance, but aren't there things out there that eat things much larger than me? Praying for a good outcome, but also praying for the strength of the family....

It's been 4 days 3 nights without water,the same amount of time the sailors on the Indianapolis spent in the water before their rescue.
The boat most likely swamped and flipped within site of land and the boys decided to make a swim for it. With a 2 knot surface current blowing from the west their ability to swim to the east towards the shore is absolutely futile. |

This is a scanner based out of Jacksonville. It plays radio transmissions between Navy (JAX) and USCG. A DSC was chatted about 5 minutes ago off South Carolina. DSC is a digital selective calling- a distress call from a VHF radio. This could be related to the lost kids or it could be something else going on in the area. The dispatch was requesting ID and/or coordinates from anyone that heard the DSC in that area. |
