That's how my grandparents felt about their air conditioner..

“I would love to answer that question now. I’m not actually allowed to answer that as long as we are on the vessel,” Appel said before going on to detail how their sailboat was damaged while it was being towed by the Taiwanese vessel.

That statement right there is a hugh red flag. We can't talk about how we were lying, but by the way, the vessel that saved us damaged our boat...So....you planning on filing a claim against them for saving you???

Glad they are safe, but there are some head scratching questions left unanswered. :huh Seems rather odd to me, and I wonder what we are missing.

A Johnson!

Garza Blanca

These two need to be polygraphed and fined, this is no different than sending a fake distress call. I read somewhere that she added 6 tons of fiberglass to strengthen the boat. Original boat displaced 18 tons.

From what I read sounds like the coast guard don't believe them. To many inconsistencies.

it's hard to keep your story straight when you're shook from those 20-30 foot tiger sharks jumping all over the place. They hunt in packs you know.

The one on the left might be Ernest

It was hard for me to get a picture of Ernest because I pictured the face, but outside of that I didn't remember anything. I thought his catchphrase was "Hey Earl". Close, but no cigar. That was Crabman from the TV show Earl. I couldn't even tell you how I eventually figured it out and got a picture.

You did well

His catchphrase was Vern.

mplspug

Yeah, I figured it out eventually.

Hopefully they will at least be charged for the cost of the rescue.
