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.

Could be worse.

Sunderland parents could be American Taliban.

Is there a third Sunderland child named Falcon?

This was outstanding.

I can't believe there is even a debate about this. At all. These "what if" scenarios are ridiculous. On a related note, can anyone lend Cousin Oliver the money to purchase a boat?

Now that is forking funny.

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.

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

Sailing is, apparently, a sport.
