They were in a SAILboat. If they had been in a motor-driven craft and run out of gas, etc, I could understand it. But a SAILBOAT??? Once the storm was over, why didn't they just sail toward the west? The last I heard, there was a really large chunk of land they would have hit -- somewhere.

If the Sunfish belonged to their family, it's probably a matter of genetics: stupid, ignorant, careless adults producing stupid, ignorant, careless offspring. Another corner of the the gene pool that needs chlorine (and nearly got some).

And more news media that tells how they drank seawater without the disclaimer that it's a stupid thing to do.
