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.

I imagine they’ll say that an emergency locator beacon is “racist, white supremacist guy stuff” and they didn’t know how to turn it on or make it work.

Headline should read: “Lesbians Refuse to Turn on Man-Made EPIRB.”

That was exactly my thought when the story first broke.

They were in great shape when the were ‘found.’

They looked healthy. The dog looked healthy. A sailboat that didn’t sail and now we’re hearing about emergency communications not turned on.

Smells like rotten fish. They both need to be taken in for mental health work ups and be billed for their “rescue.”
