Don't know the circumstances behind this as it's somewhat vague as to what they were doing or if their parents knew, just praying they're found.
Prayers for their safety. When I was 14 we were pretty responsible with boats, though we took some risks. If the kids were raised around boats and the ocean they may be OK.
I just got Little Flash A a book called “The Lion’s Paw” b Robb White, which I read when I was in grade school. It had been out of print but now a small publisher has brought it back. I hadn’t remembered the details, but yesterday I read it in about 90 minutes.
It’s a kid’s adventure story set in FLA in 1946, about a fifteen year old boy whose dad was MIA, his uncle wanted to sell the Dad’s 30-ft. sailboat boat because a boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money; two orphans escaped from the orphanage show up, and the three of them take off. They leave an unnamed Atlantic port, fake out the authorities by first going north, then turn back south, go through the St. Lucie Canal to Lake Okeechobee to Ft. Meyers. So I spent some time after reading it looking at the different locals on Google.
Maybe you know it.
The boat fits the physical description of the 19-foot vessel that the boys disappeared in. They are bringing the boat to shore in Jacksonville to investigate further, according to officials.
Prayers going out for this family
