From: OzOne on 13 Jun 2010 20:37 This is direct information. Abby's EPIRB position has drifted 12 NM @ 64 degree true in 12 hours....They are still both together........Not really sure if both have built in GPS i think only one does.....but one of them is giving GPS position. Third EPIRB with built in GPS has not been activated..... Qantas Airbus 320 has taken off with spotters aboard and VHF radios they will be there in about 2-3 hours from now. Sunrise in her location is 2:04 am UTC 7:34 pm PDT They will make several low passes attempt to make VHF radio contact them climb to altitude to make a lot of noise...they have maybe 2 or 3 hours loiter time...they burn a lot of fuel if not at altitude. She would not activate EPIRB's for just lost comms. There was a lost comms plan.. The first reported EPIRB position we got from the USCG was 40.513s 74.457e. The position from Abby about one hour before was 40.50s 74.40e. The position drifted 12 miles in the first 12 hours @ 64 degree true Anybody in the neighborhood please go for it. And from Australian Maritime Safety: AMSA Providing Assistance in Search and Rescue - Wild Eyes 11 June 2010 - 11:30am Update (0130 UTC) Australia is providing air support assistance to a French (La Reunion) coordinated search and rescue in the Indian Ocean for the US yacht Wild Eyes. US citizen Abby Sunderland (16) sailed from California on 23 January 2010 to circumnavigate the globe in the yacht Wild Eyes. At approximately 1.00 a.m. (Australian Eastern Standard Time) Friday 11 June the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) detected transmissions from two distress beacons registered to Wild Eyes. The detections are currently in position 40 48 South 74 58 East, approximately 2033 nautical miles west south west from Perth in the central southern Indian Ocean. There are currently no communications with Wild Eyes. The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre at La Reunion, operated by France, is coordinating the search & rescue response overall as Wild Eyes is in La Reunion's search and rescue region. Australia offered to assist if required. La Reunion has requested air search assistance to establish the situation on scene, recognising that the remoteness of the location would delay any ship response. The most rapid means to get an aircraft on scene is to send a QANTAS A-330 Airbus passenger aircraft from Perth. The aircraft should be on scene mid-afternoon Friday 11 June. The aircraft mission will be to attempt to communicate with Ms Sunderland from high level and, if necessary, to descend and make visual contact to assess the circumstances. La Reunion is coordinating three seaborne responses. A fishing vessel can be on scene on Saturday afternoon, a French Fisheries Patrol vessel can be on scene on Sunday morning, and an offshore support vessel can be there on Sunday evening. Each of the three vessels should be capable of conducting a rescue, subject to prevailing weather conditions. 06/11/10 OzOne of the three twins I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

Best ask the French that question. It's their piece of ocean involved, apparently. -- Toby. Caveat Lector
