Nothing makes sense in this story

This is a story told to Chinese by Hispanics, and then translated to English! It is a little surprising that they got the name of the ocean right.

Does sound a bit like "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' though.

No doubt that the daily Bible reading helped their spirits during that ordeal.

Here's a follow-up with PIX!

These guys look really healthy for having spent 9 months in an open boat. BS meter's needle is bent at right angle!

Twin 200's on a 26' boat is not at all unusual.

I saw a pickup truck today that was the size of a Coast Guard Cutter...

To be considered a cutter, a USCG vessel must be 65' or greater. That's a pickup truck I want to see!
