HONOLULU — The U.S. Coast Guard said Monday that two Hawaii women who were lost at sea for five months had an emergency beacon aboard their sailboat that was never activated. U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Scott Carr told The Associated Press that their review of the incident and subsequent interviews with the survivors revealed that they had the Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) aboard but never turned it on.

Yep, I smelled a rat from the beginning, especially as the media "celebrated" this female "couple's" harrowing experience and bravery - all a hoax to celebrate diversity.
I smell book deal and movie rights.
Yes, they are.
More than a little fishy. They and the dog look more than a little healthy and fit after their little adventure. Just heard reports about this on the radio that casts more doubt on their story.
This appears to be a setup for a fat book and or movie deal.
Had a beacon but didn’t use it?
One of their mothers didn’t bother to report them missing?
Yep, seems odd doesn’t it?
They were sailing to Tahiti, I believe? They sailed from Hawaii on a trip of thousands of miles, yet had no knowledge of some basic emergency procedures? No knowledge of the emergency beacon?
I’m no sailor, but, always thought that a trip into the ocean was more intense and involved more preparation, than taking a boat out on the lake for the afternoon. Just saying.
It is a weird story.
They did have plenty of food, and apparently ample means to create drinking water. The boat’s mast was screwed up and the engine ruined by seawater, but the thing was floating fine until the fishing vessel damaged it. I guess they were just perfectly happy to be out there with no idea where they were or where they were going, not unlike many of us on land.
Don't forget, these are *women* we're talking about here!
(Joking!!!...sort of)
I honestly read this ...“Emergency Bacon”....
The video and photos that I looked at, shows a boat that had more wear than six months at sea!
I would like to see photos of that boat as/when they departed!
To paraphrase Ma Boggs, “ True sea tale, my ass!”.
These women are either dumber than dirt or scam artists. I vote for “both”.
Is it just me, or did they look really healthy being "stranded" at sea for 5 months? How is it neither looked dehydrated? Where did they get fresh drinking water? Can't drink salt water!
I salute these sistahs who are doing it for themselves. (Aretha Franklin) God luv yas!

I have helped women w flat tires. Most recent was five weeks ago. She had two teenage boys that I had to direct but I did most of the labor.
The engine was out and the rigging in the main mast broke. They could
Have easily repaired the rigging by shimming up the mast.
I knew this was female sailor story was fishy when I first heard about it
Don’t trust and definitely verify if you are interested. On anything these days. Strangely enough we have The Donald with all his narcissism and braggadocio is pretty much a straight shooter.
“Carr said the coast guard made radio contact with a vessel that identified itself as the Sea Nymph in June near Tahiti, and the captain said they were not in distress and expected to make land the next morning. That was after the women reportedly lost their engines and sustained damage to their rigging and mast.”
Trump got elected so they wanted to disappear ? LOL
