This is happening where we are. I’ve read and watched over a dozen reports and every single one contains errors about the verifiable facts. Seriously losing my faith in reporters. This stuff isn’t that hard and details matter. The guys who know what is going on (local rescue at Hope Town) 1/

are rarely quoted and no one has clarified where they left from, where they were anchored (I tracked that on AIS) and where they were headed. They are using incorrect info on Google maps, compounding facts that don’t line up.

Anyway, bad choices were made and this lady is dead. He is culpable.

His quote is concerning, and made me suspect that he hurt her.

"Despite desperate attempts to reach her, the winds and currents drove us further apart. We continue to search for her and that is my sole focus."

"Further apart" means they already had distance between them, possibly emotional.

It’s quite tragic. Even if he didn’t harm her, so many potentially deadly choices were made. No radio, not wearing PFDs, traveling in near darkness, alcohol possibly involved, no dinghy light, terrible conditions (high winds), no back up engine “key”. Ugh.
