American family saved at sea asks critics to hold judgment
A U.S. family lifted from a disabled sailboat well over 1,000 kilometers off the Mexican coast with their sick 1-year-old thanked rescuers and defended their "maritime life" in their first public comments since returning to land. Eric and Charlotte Kaufman said in a blog posting that their children had been sailing on boats for a long time and that the "modern cruising family" dates back several decades.
The Kaufmans were on a round-the-world cruise with their 3- and 1-year-old daughters when the vomiting, feverish younger girl forced them to call for help. The couple asked critics to reserve judgment. Without elaborating, they said there were many inaccuracies reported in the news media about their daughter's health, their vessel's condition and the "overall maritime situation."
Rebel Heart, the 11-meter sailboat that had been their home for seven years, is now at the bottom of the ocean 1,448 kilometers off Mexico, sunk by rescuers because it was taking on water after losing its steering and most of its communications. "We have been happy with the maritime life we have been able to share with our daughters. Even as we write this, several other boats are crossing the same stretch of water that Rebel Heart was on, with families who seek to show their children the world," the couple wrote in their blog posting.
