Can you imagine all the drunk fishermen in the 12 foot aluminum boats with shitty out boards having to pay up every time they run into trouble? Should any of us be charged for the rescue when the time comes that we actually need it? Depends on the trouble. If it's not life-threatening, you call a commercial tow boat. 10 hours ago, Tenoch said: Just heard a guy 40 miles off Coos Bay call the CG saying his engine was disabled. Insurance wouldnt cover the tow, so the coast guard sent a motor lifeboat out and towed him in. And this was a motor sailor whos engine died. Also happens all the time off the Columbia River. Around here, the answer would be, "Insurance won't cover it? Not life threatening. Pay." Same answer as if you just don't have towing insurance. You pay. 5 hours ago, B.J. Porter said: I'm safe?

Maybe target practice & an arrest by the sound of what goes on in the ex land of the free ie. the USA. In Aus we don't have a military CG, you call up, usually answered by volunteer rescue groups who aren't Government subsided & they'll come & get you. They even have offshore vessels. Our Water Police also do a fantastic job towing but mainly bigger commercial stuff not your average yacht unless our of range of volunteers. Donation recommended but not enforced. I have to say our volunteer guys do a great job & get loads of training. ex land of the free, aint that the truth. They add hundreds of new laws on the books each year but take few if any off the books. I wondered about that for years then made some inquiries and was told that they just don't inforce the old laws. I guess laws give power over the people even if not enforced and can be utilized if they wish. Yes, each day less and less freedom like poor Remas. Remas is locked in by his enablers who have slowly bound him and must now do as directed or be thrown to the wolves. Bothers me when I see a mentally deficient like Remas manipulated for personal gain by "enablers". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure everyone of you is so relieved and grateful Rimas finally showed up and apparently none the worse for wear for this last incredible voyage. I also know we'd all love to sit down and buy him a cup of coffee in a coffee shop and listen to him tell of his adventures. Well, how about this? If enough of you punkle up just the 2 or 3 bucks for a cup it will help Rimas repair and replace boat stuff and maybe even enough to get him some glasses so he can see where he's going and maybe make these voyages a little shorter. Come on, its only a couple of bucks-the price of a cup of coffee. https://fundly.com/rimas-around-the-world It's the 2013 fundraising link from the OP of this thread.

Guy is like the homeless alcoholic on panhandler on the street. I'd buy him a sandwich, or in this case a cup'o coffee (never Starfucks) but no cash for him to take and pursue the addiction that will result in his inevitable demise. Yeah, i am a little jealous, toiling away with job, family and community responsibilities while he's out on the ocean blue but he has nothing and will continue to be a parasite sucking up public resources while others truly in need flounder.

Furnish and Mondeau should be outed to the authorities so they can be watched. Sounds like the Nazi SS party thinking. Being foolish is not a crime. Misusing government resources can be if they deem it necessary. This is small potatoes for them. Why is everyone worried about their tax payer money? It was already spent before Rimas showed up. Stop trying to "save" the rescuer. Take it from a former SAR guy, LET IT GO. If Rimas makes it off this rock, he will more than likely land in a foreign country where they might take his boat from him anyway or his lack of judgment will get himself killed.

Volkeno 12 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I don't want to take away Rimas boat. The only concern I have with his "rescues" is if there was a time where there were two mayday calls at the same time and they went for Rimas instead of the people that have a real emergency. Otherwise those personnel are getting paid anyways and the expense is in the fuel spent and other consumables. They really need a tag on Rimas and Mimsy that pops up when he calls so they know not to send helicopters, or swimmers, but instead wait until he gets closer and send a boat. Taking away his boat just makes Rimas an unhappy old guy that you are now responsible for his housing, medical and food. Net net, I think America is saving money by letting him drift around. I might be tempted to give Rimas money if he would actually do work improving his boat, and bolt the Delorme to a bulkhead with a solar charger, so it can't be broken. Otherwise I don't see a reason to give him money to do what I would rather be doing while I save up money to do what he is doing now. Someone will mail him a sail, and someone will go rig the halyards, or it will never happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone will mail him a sail, and someone will go rig the halyards, or it will never happen. Couldn't agree more. I know that when Rimas gets near his land target, the CG/Local authorities are pre-notified, via folks on land, that he is approaching and basic issues with the boat. The American Samoa CG was following him, via Delorme, as he approached. They knew the background and was still willing to assist IF he had a real emergency. Rimas was never able to contact them as he drifted by. In this case at Saipan, no one knew were he was let alone alive. SAR doesn't ask for a resume first, they go even when it is the fault of every dumbass out there. I had to rescue many idiots during my time in SAR, but we did it willingly and without regret.

RKoch 1,004 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Someone will mail him some sails. Idk if he's capable of bending them on, but I am sure he'll trash them in pretty short order. He's never demonstrated that's he's learning to take care of his gear. He can't repair his halyards, has no money to hire someone. Which means Jean or Shannon is going to have to fly there and do it for him. On their own dime, of course. Rest of the boat is a wreck, but at least remains somewhat functional...with the exception of motor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excoded Tom 1,556 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Quote Jim Furnish to Rimas Meleshyus You got a telephone up and running yet, Rimas? Jim Furnish Thanks for the call, Rimas..you sound great! Jim Furnish Jean Mondeau, Rimas wants you to call him ASAP--check ur PMs for his new number--he cant find your's or something I know Rimas can't/won't prepare a boat but you'd think he would have at least figured out to write his FB password and Jean's phone number in permanent ink on a bulkhead or something. He got there without either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim O. 0 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Let’s give Rimas meleshyus his due for a job well done. I would have been a lunatic by the end of the first storm in that san Juan 24. Have asked him by way of Facebook for an address to send small donations.

I'm not going to go find it, but I recall a picture showing it more toward the center of the bulkhead. Now it's way over to the left but there's no hole where I remember it being. Must be early onset OldTimers. That's a knot meter to the far left. Compass is on the bracket just to left of companionway...looks like it's duct-taped on, I presume to keep the detachable bracket from coming off. IIRC he has some kind of spare compass that never got mounted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have three or four that are about the size of my phone that have a battery, so you can connect your phone to it and charge from the sun, or leave the charger out to fill it's battery and charge the phone from it. I buy the cheap Chinese ones that work or not. Some have clips to attach to a backpack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
