Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras. -
If my family member was lost at sea that long ago I'd accept they were dead and try to deal with that fact.
Trying to persuade the emergency services to drop everything and spend man-months and £millions doesn't strike me as right - anyone who goes to sea knows they are putting themselves at risk. My father was an active sailor and was lucky enough to have been rescued by the lifeboat in the past (lucky they were nearby I mean) but he wouldn't have expected or wanted a massive mission to be mounted. Bad stuff happens.
What are the families doing besides trying to strong-arm the rescue services?Last edited by d000hg; 21 May 2014, 12:58.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

This caught my eye on BBCThe US Coast Guard has resumed the search, which was called off on Sunday, following an official request from the UK government. The coastguard said it had searched a total of 2,878 sq miles so far.
But it warned it was battling against six-foot seas with wind speeds of less than 18.5km per hour.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
