I would suspect foul play.

Woman, child, tortoise, cat.

That sounds like four words you have to remember when taking a memory cognitive test.

I took one online a couple of months ago. I can still remember the four words on the test: Velvet, Face, Red, church.

We live on a 36 ft sailboat that was made to sail across oceans.

With the current weather around Hawaii, we would NOT have been out there.

Let me guess...

They brought the tortoise because he knew the waters.

And the cat because whatever happened, they’d always land on their feet.

Don’t wait to retire to travel in a yacht. Do it when you’re young.

a 47-foot French-flagged vessel named Albroc ...


Did they sail this boat, themselves, from France? If not, who did? The dead guy?

No, I did NOT read the article.

No vessel for old tortoises.

I hope they put a waterproof tracker on the boat so that they could attempt a later recovery of the body.

Back in the day they used to put giant tortoises on board ships because they would live a while and then they could have fresh meat on long voyages or when becalmed in the tropics. Maybe it was lunch insurance...

No word on what happened to the sailing master? Why was he dead? They could’ve included something on him.

Due to the adverse conditions, the crew could not safely recover the deceased man

I don’t think “safety” is of much concern to the man. He’s dead.

This is just a trick by the tortoise and its crew.

The hare is on another boat and not cheating.
