I respect your opinions and posts. What is your theory of how they could have gotten so far off course. It is just very strange. Any crew member with a cell phone could determine exactly where they were, even if the GPS units on both craft had failed. Something just “aint” right.

I am a pilot and navigation is not that hard, particularly with all the modern devices we have now. Even if all navigation aids failed on both craft and no one had a cell phone the solution would be easy. Turn South West using your magnetic compass. As soon as you pick up the coastline follow it to Bahrain.

They were not off course at all, IMHO. They were ambushed as planned directly along their course, then their boats were commandeered and driven to Farsi Island.
