So a family of 4, two being under the age or 3 decided to sail to the South Pacific from CA on a 36 ft sailboat.
Shocker! They had to be rescued, 900 miles off of Cabo, by the CG because the baby girl got ill (suspected salmonella). Their vessel also is in trouble, and needs repairs. The baby needs to be helo'd off the boat.
I want to hand them the flipping bill for their stupidity. OBTW, Eric and Charlotte Kaufman tried this once before when she was pregnant with the baby that is being helo-vac at taxpayer dollars. They had to turn back during that try too.
How much you want to bet next year they will try this again....maybe not if the CG and Navy hand them the bill.
