Women rescued on sailboat had emergency beacon but never used it
Too many holes in this story.
The lies were not thought through or fully rehearsed.
They did not activate their Emergency Beacon because the situation wasn’t ‘dire’. Yeah, right.
Liar McLiarFace
Their reality show dreams are fast disappearing.
I don’t get it. Why lie about something like this? Just to get on tv and in the news?
Now they will be known around the world as the lesbo liars.
Two phony, publicity seeking (dare we say) lesbians looking for 15 minutes of fame, a book deal, and speaking fees.
To me, they all - including the dog - look too healthy to have been stranded for 5 months. I would think there would be muscle atrophy for starters.
Then there is the “story” of them having a year’s worth of food on board (explaining why they weren’t starving).
2.) How did they go without sex for 5 months - oh, wait . . .
For these two seafaring women....I thought fake from the get go
They tried to pull a Rosie Ruiz but FAIL !
the two women likely sailed to the isle of lesbos and stayed for while
From an AP story referenced in your article:
The captain of the fishing vessel, the Fong Chun No. 66, who identified himself as Mr. Chen in a satellite phone call from the AP, said his boat received a mayday radio call but did not understand it. They then saw someone waving a white object on a boat about a nautical mile away.
When they approached, the women asked to use the satellite phone on the fishing vessel and for a tow to Midway Island. The larger vessel towed the smaller sailboat overnight. In the morning, the women wanted to stop the towing and called for a naval vessel.
“We offered to get them on board the fishing boat and asked whether they needed water or food, but they refused,” the captain said.
The fishermen left after the arrival of the U.S.S. Ashland.
Hawaii sailing experts say the trip itself was a bad idea.
Mike Michelwait, owner of the Honolulu Sailing Company, a sailing school and charter company, has sailed the route from Hawaii to Tahiti several times. He said the trip would normally take about 17 days with sailors who could stay on course.
But, Michelwait said, he would not take such a trip with any less than three experienced sailors.
“There’s only two of them on board, and it’s a 50-foot boat,” he said. “That’s a lot of boat to handle.”
the professional sailing community thinks these 2 girls are worse than dumbsh*t halfwits. These type of sailors endanger others by being a harzard to navigation.
Some technical answers
1) water ? most blue water sailors have a reverse osmosis pump on board - could be hand driven ( 1 hour of pumping equals 1 person 1 day water supply )
2) Storm ? Noobs such as these girls will always describe the seastate and winds as 3-10x reality. It’s normal.
I will say the photo of them on the dock does not look like anyone I have ever seen coming from a long voyage. The girls may have cleaned up well, but ....
We all know they just needed a man to give them the right directions.
Somebody is angling for a reality TV show. :-)
