Maybe the Captain and crew can make it to Pitcairn Island.

Seriously, hope everyone stays safe up there in the Northeast.

Question is why were they there, they didn't turn the radio on for two weeks or turn on their radar

That's what I was thinking. This has been in the making for weeks. Hope they all pull through.

They picked up 14 of them, still had two floating in survivor suits from what I heard

The missing woman is from my home state of Oklahoma. They found her but she did not survive.

Probably thought they could outrun the 1000-mile-wide storm but hadn't planned on the motor quitting & the pumps not keeping up with the water rushing in.

Hope they find the captain, but I'm not very optimistic. I heard that he was in a survival suit so there is a chance. That boat used to be docked in St. Pete about 30 min south of me.

NPR news said late this afternoon that the Coast Guard was still looking for the Captain,Coast Guard said he could be alive,the water was 80 degrees where the Bounty went down.
