They should be made to pay, the sorry moochers are into slave labor, where is a court accounting of the money they made forcing their son to do the same thing. These people are plan and simple in to child labor supporting themselves.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) chief executive Mick Kinley told reporters he did not know how much the operation would have cost Australian authorities, but there are no plans to recoup the money. "We would expect people to rescue any Australian yachtsman in these conditions," he said. "It's our obligation to do this and we'll fulfil those obligations as Australia does."

Looks like the Aussies have a different take on the situation...thank goodness they have not become a bunch of wimps whining about people taking on challenges. So the case is closed as to who is paying for the rescue.

I remember reading Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki when I was in fourth grade...it has been an inspiration all of my life...people taking on a challenge, not because they have to, but because of the challenge itself. Western Civilization set itself apart because of this mindset...know of any great African seafarers? I hope she tries it again.

Yep, Magellan first sailed around the Cape of Good Hope at age 17.....if these nanny state freepers had there way he would have been home playing video games with his Mommy making him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich....with the crust cut off of course! LMAO.
