  1. As someone who sails, and not at this level? When it's good? It's amazing. When it goes south? It's horrifying.

  2. Hope the guy is safe. You can tell his family are truly worried about him.

  3. He became a juicy snack for some lucky shark 🦈

  4. Not looking good on this one. Only two options as I see it. Option 1: They are actually completely fine and have just been drifting w/o power but will arrive shortly to the coast. Option 2: They died in a sudden sinking event. No EPIRB/Emergency signal from a 60 Ft Tri? They would most likely all be wearing vest EPIRBs as well.. No activation signal is really wierd..

  5. Lets get this Us Sailor back…100

  6. He probably getting away from her!. He's probably in the belly of a shark by now..

  7. He probably getting away from her!

  8. I understand the families distress. I just dont understand these types of ventures.

  9. He was probably pushed overboard by a white guy who voted for Trump in 2020.

  10. Now a days it's not wise to go out on the water or on hunting trips with a bunch of white men if you are BLACK.

  11. He's probably in the belly of a shark by now.

  12. My heart breaks for this poor family. May they find their loved one safe.

  13. They should definitely be helping but Im sure they have to ask Mexico first if he was in their waters

  14. He’ll be fine. A teenager fisherman was rescued after 49 days out at sea so there’s plenty of hope.

  15. Nobody told him to go out there! We chose to stay on land, he didn't 🤷🏽‍♀️

  16. I hope this brave sailor is found safe and sound. But if not he will have gone doing what he loved.
    Life is only worth what you put into it.

  17. Where's the urgency and coverage like the submersible?!? Oh wait he's not a billionaire searching for the titanic

  18. Praying that he's found soon and the subject of an awe inspiring story of survival.

  19. This so sad I hope he’s found alive

  20. Social media: "White peop……oh nevermind"

  21. Let's hope he's still holding STRONG right now.
