Coast Guard officials told the Associated Press on Monday that the two women had an emergency beacon but never turned it on because they did not fear for their lives. If they had, rescue would have been headed their way in a matter of minutes.
The women said Tuesday they did not use the beacon because they never felt they were in immediate danger, yet they have been quoted as saying they did not think they would survive another day, and that they were fearful during a dramatic tiger shark attack that lasted six hours. Furthermore, the pair said they had been flagging vessels and sending distress signals for at least 98 days.
They also defended their claims that their boat would not fit into harbors on some Hawaiian islands, places where much larger vessels come and go regularly.

The moral of this story is; never tell a lie based on a famous Hollywood movie.
“We got into a Force 11 storm, and it lasted for two nights and three days,” Appel said.
"We never should have named our boat the Andrea Gail."
Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. If only we had name it Morgan Fairchild!"

Their description of 20- to 30-foot tiger sharks ramming their boat in a coordinated attack for more than six hours... C'mon "girls" you can do better than that if you want a TV contract. The sharks had laser beams, FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS on their heads!

Women rescued by Navy......Who the hell rescued them? The Navy or the Coast Guard or the Cajun Navy? I get so sick of this poor reporting.

The horse-faced blonde does not have feminine facial features which brings her true gender into question.
So in answer to your question, I’d say the darker skinned lady does have a gentleman of sorts in her life.

Liars. But I do not put it past them that they genuinely believe their lies. People can make yourself believe lies.
