Lil' Kenny and I are running south out of Ponce Inlet in the AM..
He will be in his Secptre and I will be in the "Bones".... These poor kids need to be found ! Have epirb's on both boats with single side band on NoBones.. Jr. has SAT phone, we just want to help find these two boys alive..  They may have very well drifted this far north if they did not get capsized in the bad weather we had here yesterday..... Just keep praying !!!!

It doesn't look good.
Why a pair of young boys try a Gulf Stream crossing is unthinkable. I made many crossings in these waters but never in a 19 footer, never alone, never without an epirb, never without a float plan etc etc. This tragedy defies all safety precautions. The Gulf Stream is powerfull. I have had the shit kicked out of me in my 23' SeaCraft more than all toes & fingers counted! Prayers go out to their families.

Yes, this is news that none of us want to hear...
We (Lil' Kenny and I ) were ready to start looking this AM A close FWC friend advised me against it...  This should not be!!! It hits real close to home as they were in an 18 SeaCraft.. According to USCG 1 life jacket is un accounted for. Lil' Kenny came up with a great idea, hense I will start a new post and thread with his plan.. These boys should be in everyones prayers..

The boat is an 18. So 18 10". Chuck, they did not have permission to go outside the inlet just like I was not supposed to go out Barnstable Harbor. The stream is nothing to be trifled with, especially on a summer afternoon with our squalls. Had my ass handed to me as well. Had a squall come in around 11 am and we were up off Juno. I called Black Dog and asked for a radar report. "You`re not going to do what I think you are"? Umm, no, not now. My control cables damn near locked up coming in Jupiter to have lunch and wait it out. Almost pitch poled coming in. Cables snapped on the muffs in the driveway that afternoon... Got a PLB from vendor Rich at Cape Marine Supply on special shortly after for 200 clams. Just off the phone with Ken and we are going to start a thread about making it mandatory for all offshore vessels to be so equipped. He has connections in politics and the junk yard dog mentality to see that no parents have to go through this again. I don't want Janet to get a call either. We here all know how things can go from hunky dory to fm with a rock in an instant. Cheers verysadsandman
