Tracking our friends in transit via their AIS, freaking out when there's no position update for more than 3 days, immediately thinking the worse.

@neauoire eep! Sounds very stressful. I hope your friends are ok! Is there a separate emergency beacon that would get activated if something bad had happened?

Devine Lu Linvega

@blaine they might have a EPIRB, but I'm certain that we're not their emergency contact. We've sent emails and we have a couple of friends in common to coordinate when they re-emerge.

Well, fuck. We got an update the moment I posted this, our friends lost their boat, they're in the hospital, fuck fuck

@neauoire so sorry to hear, I hope your friends are ok. Any word on their condition?

@neauoire oh dear. Best of luck to them, I’m glad they’re in a hospital at least, that’s a step in the right direction for an accident at sea.

@tty our friend who had a seizure is recovering right now. We'll know more soon.

@neauoire it may not be ideal but safe on land is a preferable ending

@neauoire I'm so sorry to hear this, hoping for a quick health recovery for them, even if the boat situation is still tragic, they're alive and that's a great bit of news to hear

@klardotsh just got a message, and apparently the boat hadn't been beached for a day, and already thieves showed up with tools to take the outboard, liferaft, and other things off of it.. crazy
