Questions have been raised over the story of two Hawaii women who say they were lost at sea for six months - after it emerged they never activated their emergency beacon, sailed past an inhabited island and were caught in a seemingly non-existent storm. Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fiava were rescued by the US Navy 900 miles southeast of Japan last Wednesday after setting sail from Hawaii on May 3. They told a harrowing tale of survival after their rescue, but many of their claims have now been called into question including:

There were no men on the boat - no one who knew anything about sailing.
It’s harder to learn to ride a bike.
“Emergency beacons not used is a bit of an odd thing but some people believe using them costs massive money.”
This is believable. My aunt bought a new car in the 60’s, gave us a ride in it in the winter. We were freezing inside her new car, my dad asked her to turn on the heater, her reply was it cost too much.
My dad explained to her it’s nothing but heat coming from the engine cooling system being being directed inside the car and costs nothing.
So yes, people do think like that.
But in the case of the two subject lunatics, I agree with the mass opinion here that they are attention whores.
I wondered how the dogs looked as good as they did.
Something happened, and people in stressful situations behave odd.
A few years ago, we had an intern at work who was really African American. He was from Nigeria and never learned to ride a bike.
I took that on as a challenge figuring if I could teach my kids, I could certainly teach a 20 year old.
It was much harder but he got it figured out.
And trust me, sailing is easier. You don’t have the fear of falling and crashing into the ground.
HaHa!! Good point. It had to be the dogs because carpet has no calories.
Unless you fall out of the boat.
My mom’s husband is a very accomplished sailor. He once was on the winning team of the Detroit to Mackinac race.
They were sailing his boat and she lost a shoe in the water while she was clambering up to the bow. As he reached in to grab it, he fell in leaving her, a rather neophyte sailor to turn a 40’ sailboat.
Fortunately, someone saw it happen and rescued him.
But yea, I agree, much easier.
My brother has a small fleet of sailboats, Hobie, O’Day etc. I get too bored going so slow. He loves it.
These two broads are living proof that homosexuality is a mental disorder. They are crazy as loons if they think their ruse is going to work. They should have to reimburse we taxpayers for the cost of their alleged rescue.
“Had they not been able to locate us, we would have been dead
within 24 hours,” said Appel during a news conference on the
deck of the ship.....
********
I doubt that unless something like a storm sank the vessel.
“I get bored going so slow.”

Tastes like chicken.
And sailing will be decreed to be toxic masculinity, cisgendered, and other assorted bad stuff.
Real sailors with $15,000,000 to drop in a boat that you can’t fish off or ski behind.
Well, maybe you can ski behind it but don’t fall.
They were just “fishing” for a navy boat full of horny young men.
Planned “Lost at Sea” book deal. The beacon was their lifeline just in case they did not cross paths with a ship by the time their well stocked cabinets of food ran out.
It was all planned to the nth degree.
Which one was playing the man role who got them lost?
More than just the water is getting deep.
Why would they take a years worth of food for a 21 day trip?
Or women.
