So much for my guess work. Thanks Rovdiver. It doesn't look good for the submarine Commander then.
Since we don't know if the submarine was running on the surface or below the surface at the time of the collision, we really can't make...
I would bet that both Commanding Officers have been relieved of duty until a full investigation can be completed. Usually though, this kind of...
I don't see an external antenna on the SPOT device so my guess is, if you're in the water, the signal is going to be negatively affected.
Check in technology is great and maybe fun, but I have some questions about signaling a distress. 1. What if you stop sending a signal? Should it...
Seafarer, I hate to tell you this, but I really wouldn't rely on the 121.5 signal from your watch to help get rescuers to your position. The Coast...
As a sailor, a licensed Captain and perhaps more importantly, a search and rescue controller for the US Coast Guard, I cannot say enough about the...
High Spirits went west - In a post nearly a year ago, alloyed2sea identified the boat below as the "High Spirits". While she is the same vintage,...
The search and rescue effort was managed by MRCC Fort de France in Martinique. They used both air and surface assets to search the area, while the...

Doc Numbers baddog - If you can tell me the name and/or the present documentation number, I may be able to run the information through a data...
There are many boats that can be adapted to a wheelchair but one of the best designs I have seen (IMHO) is a 48ft Kadey Krogen Whaleback. The main...
I don't think so... IMHO, Looking at the windshield and the cabin trunk, I would guess that it is not a Hinckley. She also seems a little more...
Whether the fenders are a "clue" or not would depend on what can be learned from people who know the boats owner. What were his boating habits?...
JoeQ: I've been able to determine that before your boat was named "Coo Too" it was named "Lush Life". Documentation records show that she was...
Assuming a stowed liferaft receives the proper care and maintenance it requires, can anyone tell me what the stowed life expectancy is? A client...
Heading to Ft Lauderdale The Seaduction is in tow and heading to Ft Lauderdale. Maybe someone up there can get some pics.
I've heard news that the 74 Sunseeker "Seaduction" had a fire onboard today, 26 miles off Miami. :( There were 10 people on board but the fire is...
