Great result, but hopefully they will use the money given to them to buy an EPIRB. The cost of searching for two days with a patrol aircraft was around NZ$32,000, along with a patrol boat from Samoa that also searched for them. A visual search probably has a 30% success rate, whilst an EPIRB search is 100%.

Wonderful story of an amazing rescue. The integrity of the Seabourn staff is one of the reasons, among many, that we are booked on another Seabourn cruise in the Fall.
Congratulations to Captain Dexter and all those involved in the rescue.
