No radio. How careless could they be. I agree, make them pay for the expense of the rescue.

Best,

What's a compass?

Maaaan, even my cell phone has a compass, and GPS, and Navionics charts, and weather bouy data, and, believe it or not, the ability to communicate with people from most places in the San Pedro Channel.

Well at least they had a float plan:

"They had informed relatives to call for help if they failed to return by Monday evening."

This costs all of us in the long run. Put these Jack-Wagons in a powerboat and you've got real problems.

Maybe they cound take a College course and learn that the SUN rises in the East and Sets in the west.That way if they can't afford a compass, they could sail toward the rising sun, or away from the setting sun. They would "Discover" California, and that Governor "Moonbeam" is now Governor "Broadbeam".

Well, there are a number of simple and primitive ways to determine direction. We shouldn't lose the point that being equipped and prepared isn't even enough sometimes. The point is that "we are".
