But Mom, he got to sail around the world!

Here's Zac's boat. Doesn't look like much at all.



Because of Laurence Sunderland's business contacts they were able to buy the vessel for $6,000 and receive equipment at discounted prices.

 

Between this thread and the Taliban thread, I hope a Woolly Mammoth tramples me in my sleep.

 

Could be worse.

Sunderland parents could be American Taliban.

 

HOOOOOOOLD!




HOOOOOOOOLD!




Aww hell... me too.

 

This was outstanding.

 

Now that is fucking funny.

 

By the way, Abby is okay.

William Bennett with "Team Abby" said Thursday that searchers aboard an Airbus A330 spotted her boat in an upright position and made contact with her via radio. Bennett said Sunderland said she was doing fine and had plenty of food.

He says a fishing vessel is en route to pick her up.

 

Now that she's safe, she can finish the trip. Go get 'em, kid.

 

That moved on the AP sports wire at 11:44 PDT. Story said the mast was broken so the vessel that's 40 hours away will continue on to pick her up.

 

You're a horrible parent.

 

One of the things I was wondering all night: What the hell is this doing on the sports wire?

 

Sailing is, apparently, a sport.
