I wondered about the pic of you with the Coast Guard when I checked on you this AM. Just heard on the news that you had a problem and had to be picked up. Hope they saved you boat! News said you'd try again, so assume the boat is safe too. It would be interesting to hear the whole story some time. Am a frustrated old sailor myself and was praying for your success. I have a feeling you'll make it next time....go for it!!

I was also following your adventure and surprised with the coast guard pic. Now I get it. The boat is still out there drifting and updating its course ? It will be interesting to see where the currents take Val. Im hoping you will attempt this again.

Bravo Cyril ce n'est que parti remise.In good spirit !

Seems simplistic to say... but you are SAFE and that is the most important thing. You can get back to it. You are still my hero...now more than before :).

Those swells look like the Himalayas! Thankful that you are safe and able to plan for another go.

Need to work on Keeping the rope from getting tangled on the rudder. Maybe plan the next trip when there are not storms in the area.

I've been following you everyday. I'm glad you are safe and home, your a brave man!
