“So you say. But I think not. They could still be alive. Why quit now. Give it a chance.”

So I say? No, so the Coast Guard says. Survival tables show its possible to survive up to 40 hours in 68 degree water. Its been 72 hours.

If they were alive the Coast Guard would have found them.

Why quit now? Because it costs a lot of money to search, puts other lives at risk, and takes those rescuers away from helping other people.

Your right on.

We get a real treat now and then as the Coast Guard will do practice pick ups in the bay/our back yard.

Something about a young Coast Guard man in his uniform.

A rescue Military guy with no attitude you sometimes see in say a LE guy.
