I think the ProJo site is members only, Ken. Maybe you could summarize the facts?

Ken,

Since I first heard about this situation I've been hoping they would be found at a dock in Norfolk making minor repairs and completely unaware that the Epirb had gone off.

I still hope it turns out to be something along those lines.

I'll keep them and their loved ones in my thoughts.

The Providence Journal's print article mentions 30' seas on Monday hampering search efforts. I wonder what that's like on a boat that size. My prayers also are with the crew and families.

Prayers and fervent undying hope of Miracles and Peace

After searching thousands of miles of sea, without finding any signs of a missing sailboat and its four sailors with Rhode Island ties, the U.S. Coast Guard decided last night to suspend its active search.

The captain and crew of the 54-foot sailboat Flying Colours were believed to be somewhere off the coast of North Carolina, where the boat disappeared Monday in rough seas. The last contact with the boat was an electronic distress signal that the Coast Guard picked up at 3:30 a.m. on Monday and which stopped a few hours later.

Yesterday, the hopes of the sailors

Thanks, Ken. I've been checking news outlets several times a day hoping for good news. I've disovered others around here who also know crew members--small state. It's hard.

Dear God, be good to me;

The sea is so wide,

and my boat is so small

Makes you think about that old prayer, Jeff
