"I wish the USA coastguard had continued to look for longer before giving up. I know they have started again but that delay could prove to be fatal "
I feel the same. Trying to stay so positive though. |

They'll be found now! I'm positive of it, been tweeting @UScg all day encouraging them to resume the search, along with all my sailing association pals. The crew of Cheeki Rafiki went to the liferaft when it was their only hope, they will be vitualed up for so long as they could carry stores for, no relying on SOLAS emergency rations...they'll endure, they'll survive and they'll be found!  |

Just got this message direct from Digiglobe and Tomrod
We've been following the tragic story of the sailors on Cheeki Rafiki and have been working to task DigitalGlobe's satellites to capture some images of the possible areas where the survivors might be found. We'll have an image available on Tomnod as soon as the satellites can capture a shot and will update our Facebook.
For those of you who don't know these guys have satellite images that are taken on a daily basis and work on disasters amongst other things etc. They will post to their facebook page when they have uploaded the images, keep an eye out. It will then take us all to search through square by square and help from shore base. Please share and pass on and keep an eye on their facebook page and be ready to search the photo's

Not meaning to derail the thread, but, I find it amazing that they can find an upturned hull of a boat that was crewed by 4 yet they can't find a bloody enormous jet plane with over 200 on it.
My thoughts are with the families. |

"The BBC site is saying the hull has been found but no sight of the crew.
"
Yes, the CS Maersk Kuus eye balled an upturned mono hull in the area of the last known co-ordinates of Cheeki Rafiki on Tuesday, confirmation was just being waited upon, These guys abondoned to liferaft some time between Friday and the Sunday, They're enduring a living hell that is without question but I remain confident that they are still alive tonight, whether or not they will be alive when at last the liferaft is located and recovered it remains to be seen. Nobody knows when that will be, and even for four young fit sailors to survive prolonged time in a liferaft a drift in the mid atlantic is going to take some endurance and psycological stamina. |
