Naval History is a fascinating saga of courage, endurance and adventure.
The sometimes tumultuous Phoenicians exercised the Mediterranean, and even
beyond the Gates of Hercules & # 8221;. The Greeks were famous sailors as
well; The Iliad immortalized the names of galleys through the vinous sea.
Galley has kept the vast Roman Empire. Later, European men have begun to
explore the world. My Viking ancestors set out in boats, braving storms and
cold. Then Christophe Colomb discovered America, thousands of years after
the Indians, five centuries after the Nordiques, but five centuries before
Jack Kerouac. His journey into the unknown ignited the Renaissance.
Navigation was critical, driving great technological progress. Viking
methods were crude: for example, sailing northwest of Orkney until a
particular star is four fingers close to the horizon, then due west to
reach Iceland. When men sailed in caravels, things were more advanced;
sextants have taken specific measures to crosstabs. Clocks have become
increasingly accurate in determining longitude. Charles Babbage developed
the first stirrings of computer technology, with the intention to print
precise navigation tables without math errors or copying errors that could
leave the sailors lost at sea.
Today, GPS is the big thing. Despite today's advanced maritime technology,
two strong and independent American ladies recently obtained in a pickle.
The Skipper and sailing series First Mate on a fateful journey
Not these two but yanno & # 8230;
Last April, Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiava and their two dogs left Hawaii
in the sea nymph Their destination was 2,700 miles south from the east.
Tahiti, long popular with tourists looking for quiet or romantic getaway.
Call had sailing experience around Hawaii, but Fuaiva was new in this field.
They should arrive in three to four weeks. Soon things started to go
horribly wrong, leading to an odyssey of nearly six months. For both the
three-week tour & # 8230;
The weather started getting rough
As the Daily Mail reports:
After leaving & # 8216; we entered a storm force 11, and it lasted for two
nights and three days, Appel said the storm they met off Oahu. In one of
the first signs of trouble, she said she lost her cell phone overboard.
& # 8216; We were empowered to know that we could withstand the forces of
nature, Appel said. & # 8216; The ship could withstand the forces of nature
and # 8217.
But the National Weather Service in Honolulu said no organized storm system
were either near Hawaii May 3 or in the days after. satellite images of
archived NASA confirms that there were no tropical storms around Hawaii
that day.
If this was indeed a cell phone (rather than a satellite phone), it wouldn
t have worked anyway. (Pro tip:. Ocean doesn t have cell towers) They
considered turning to the tropic port closest, but misunderstood Maui and
Lanai wouldn t have platforms suited to their 50 foot boat. They pressed
forward, faster than a hamster excess speed.
The little ship was tossed
Then they had a problem with the rigging sails, but unfortunately didn t
relieve empowerment. Traditionally, sailors climb the mast with a strap and
attach the ropes. Perhaps the ladies didn t strap adapted for this purpose.
They came on a small island, but & # 8230;
& # 8216; It is uninhabited. They are home to the northwest corner and reef
was too low for us to cross to enter the lagoon, Appel said.
But Christmas Island, part of the island nation of Kiribati, home to more
than 2000 people and has a port which regularly hosts huge commercial
vessels.
If they went to nearby Tabuaeran (Fanning Atoll, population ~ 2000) Napari
(village Tereitaki) northwest has a dock overlooking the ocean. Tenenebo
Village also features a dock just inside the lagoon. Or they could have put
anchor nearby and found a helpful soul not blunder rigging.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
After rounding the unexplored islands of the desert, they decided to head
to the Cook Islands. Kiribati, it's about 300 miles away Tahiti. For
alternative destinations, American Samoa is as close as Tahiti. The second,
a powerful sail woman, proceeded forward with the skipper brave and sure.
, Do they say so, another storm killed their engines at the end of May.
The Coast Guard came in radio contact with a ship identified as the Nymph
sea near Tahiti in June, and the captain said they are not in distress and
expects the next morning land.
Bummer! As those with diesel oriented trends generally know, the fix is
to eject water cylinders by removing the glow plugs and the engine running.
Adrift in hot and sultry tropics, the sea nymph floated aimlessly for five
months.
Don t Bogart chips, ginger
Their year of the value of provisions declined. Fortunately, they had well
supplied, following the advice of experienced sailors. Thus, they do not
have to barbecue their pets, diving for clams, or whatever.
They floated within 900 miles of Japan, almost in front of their initial
trajectory and twice away; exactly where they intended to go. A Taiwanese
fishing boat crossing noticed them and called the Navy. The USS Ashland
pair and their pets in Okinawa. However, was not towed sea nymph with them;
it has been determined likely to sink in one day. Poseidon had finally pity.
Many questions have been raised. Why not use the radio when the engine is
out, apparently when they were close to Tahiti? How about their rockets?
They had too emergency beacon, but & # 8230;
She said her experience the tag should only be used when you are in
imminent physical danger and will die in the next 24 hours.
& # 8216; Our hull was solid, we float, we had food, we had water, and we
had a limited capacity maneuverable, Appel said in an interview in Japan,
where the US Navy after the rescue. & # 8216; All these things have not
said that we will die. All that said, it's going to take us a lot longer to
get where we're going & # 8217.
Other accounts of the incident state they feared sharks violate their
shell. In any case:
Call and Fuiava also said they had six forms of communication that just did
not work.
I really hate when that happens.
Conclusion
It is not just a job; it is an adventure.
Here's why grumpy feminists who think that men aren t good for anything are
wrong. We specialize in designing, building and fixing things. The
technology is apparently part of & # 8221 toxic masculinity. We have now
invented the amenities that make life comfortable, which are often taken
for granted (until something breaks). We re also enough resources.
Troubleshooting and # 8212; rather than talking about them & # 8212; gives
us personal satisfaction. In addition, we help others just because, even if
they found themselves in trouble.
After being rescued by the Navy, the two ladies were sincerely grateful
courageous; quite concerning these days. Feminists should begin to grow too
much recognition, rather than resentment. They should also stop infect
normal women with their hostile attitudes. Man helpfulness is often
exploited, sometimes to our detriment. However, ingratitude is our
continuous wear thin patience.
They provide a redo of the trip in May. First, they plan to build a boat
unsinkable and unbreakable & # 8221;. If successful, this unprecedented
technological advance would make them a fortune. At least we hope the
lessons learned will enable these strong, independent women to have a
successful visit of three weeks.
