I see nothing in that article that indicates he talked with the family personally about the risks.
Are you saying that her parents are too stupid and ignorant about sailing that they don't know the Indian Ocean is dangerous in winter? They need someone to tell them? I thought they were sailing geniuses? And she was highly capable because she was taught by them?
Have a good day.
Well, that’s what you were implying by bringing up the sailing “expert”, were you not?
You were using him as justification for not making the attempt, now you’re saying it was up to the parents.
Now I really gotta go,
Take care,
