Help for lost British Sailors

[PeterW3035]

As you have probably seen on the news, a British yacht with 4 crew has been lost in the North Atlantic.

One of the crew, James Male, is my sons best friend. They were at school and went through Scouts together. The hope is they made it into their life raft but the US Coast guard called off their search after less than 48hrs.

Last contact was on Friday but the search has been stopped, there was time for them to get into their life raft and could be left waiting with no one looking for them.

There is petition to sign and there are various links on FB and twitter etc to share and try to press the US Coastguard into action. The fact that they missed the upturned hull certainly means they could have equally missed the life raft. Surely its worth further checks?

Its a tough time for friends and families at home, lets hope and pray for their safe return.
