24 hrs. after the hit:
UPDATE: IZ
The boys found a 75' US Flagged Shrimp boat in Bluefields, full of fresh water. They are resourceful!
The miracle might happen. Josh is at Bluefields now, loading the ship to sail north with clean water, food, medicine, buckets and Clorox to purify foul water.A desperate race for lives is on and our small band of heroes has overcome every obstacle so far. One must remember that these are pirate waters they sail into, choked with coral reefs and turbid currents. Still, they have courage, a solid plan and the hand of God.
This is a historic rescue. These boys were flocked by media in Managua as the prepared for this quest. TV will be there in Bluefields for interviews.
Josh and Jason have cameras, dry bags, sound gear, tripods, etc. We'll be able to share this first look into the eye of Category 5 Felix when they return from this rescue.
Josh was in Big Sandy Bay before, and we'll trust his training was right. We slept on the floor of many a hut there and now we can pay back the hospitality.
That is where I stayed in a five stripe hotel; waking up in the morning with five rows of miskito bites on my back from the cracks in the floor boards!
Once they sail, it’s radio silence until the mission is over.
May all their giants prove to be small.
I sent the boys $1,900 today for supplies, but they need fuel…for which they’re working hard with local government and industry. When they return, they will have saved lives, the Region will be documented and the aid needs posted on suboceansafety.com. You could help then. We will need more supplies soon. Don’t worry about the fuel, Josh and Jason will get it somehow in the port of Bluefields, I have no doubt. They are completely unstoppable.
This was all done without money; with only force of will, boldness and vision. The army, Red Cross and multiple aid organizations are still running in circles around Managua. These boys will be the first and perhaps the only group to aid the most severely impacted Miskito Indians of this forsaken coast.
When they get back, they should be Knighted.
