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

“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.

Perhaps you don't realize how cold it
can get in Florida...
...it's very cold out right now and the temps started dropping late Saturday, early Sunday....
It's miserable, very windy.
Those poor guys were in this kind of weather on the open sea ....how very sad.
