I know nothing about sailing. Water purifiers and 1 year supply of food seem smart, but wondering about having no ability to repair motor, and no navigation equipment (or skills to navigate by star)

Incredible! Anyone with an IQ above 75 would have had a solar panel charging batteries and a GPS unit (best to have several!). Perhaps they bought the sailboat and never learned to sail..., relying on the engine? This ranks up there with "Here Bubba..., hold my beer and watch this!"

I read that every Naval vessel has a sextant and a copy of The American Practical Navigator by Bowditch.

That and some knowledge on how to use the instruments would be quite helpful, I would think.

Asinine remark but nice try with the bold.Was that to show your IQ is above 75
