Tony with a name like that and area where they were picked up, makes you wonder how many people expect when they release the survivors names to be Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse etc etc. Cheers John Sabourn

If they werent escaping from disneyland, maybe thought the pirates had expanded their territory to the Florida coast and were taking no chances. The more I hear about passenger ships the more I wonder. Cheers John Sabourn.

i believe it was a Costa Line ship that ignored the first survivors on a raft, and they were really close, the company said after it was a communications failure, more like a cock up.

Does that Costa Company employ Seafarers or Donkey Drivers??? they dont seem to have a clue about anything to do with a ship or seamanship.
Remind me never to sail on one.
