It’s wonderful that she’s safe. Her parents were wrong to encourage this adventure. They should have to pay all rescue costs.
If I were her parents, I’d be glad she’s safe from the water, but I’d be concerned about a 16 year old on a boat with fishermen who may have been at sea for weeks.
The girl’s parents have endangered her in more ways than one. And, for what?
If a 16-year-old gal can't handle being around some randy deck hads on a fishing boat whose captain nearly killed himself in her rescue, then she sure as hell shouldn't have attempted the sailboat excursion in the first place. Methinks this gal can handle the fishermen just fine. They're not all animals, you know.
I come from a family of commercial fishermen. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or slap you upside the head at your "concern."
Wow. So I guess our USN sailors at sea for 6 months or more turn into rapists too?
