Swift Lady Kaoss to the white courtesy phone...

Submitted by Adam Mordecai on Fri, 2006-08-11 07:54.

Hey Gang,

Just an update from Aaron's Mom, and myself as to what's up. The crew of the swift lady have not made contact with anyone since they left port on Monday. Jeannette informed me that the gang was supposed to check in at Cape Hattaras before continuing on their journey. Aaron told me they expected to dock in Jersey on Saturday. They didn't dock at Hattaras, and it isn't Saturday yet, so we're twiddling our thumbs waiting to hear about their grand adventure. Jeannette, being far more responsible and reliable than myself has thankfully let her maternal instincts kick in and called the coast guard in the hopes of contacting them.

For all we know they are cluelessly enjoying themselves while we wait around worried, and they'll dock in Jersey, margaritas in hand, come tomorrow (at which point they will receive stern lectures from all of us.)

In the interim, if anyone else hears from them, or has more information about their schedule, please call Coast Guard Search and Rescue (SAR) at 757-398-6390, ask for a SAR Controller. Let them know you are calling about Swift Lady Kaoss and inform them as to what you know. After calling them, post what you know, here in the comments.

Thanks.

Tiny update:My wife's Dad is a retired Naval Officer, and according to him, if they were sailing up the intercoastal waterway, they could just be going REALLY really slowly, and could feasably just be getting to Cape Hattaras....in which case, Aaron, you still have to be at work on Monday.

I just called JD's bank and got the name of the marina they are to dock at. Cedar Love Marina, However I do not have a city or the name of the river. I did call the number above and talked to the SAR controller and gave him what information I had. That gives them a little more information. They told me they may just be out of range and they will keep looking. And, yes Adam they can expect some very stern lectures.
