Ok, I'm officially off the fb page. Some psychic has posted that a dolphin is bringing fish to Austin to keep him alive.

I stripped the link out because I'm THAT against this. What a slap in the face to the hundreds of people that worked 24/7 for a WEEK to find those boys. This makes me so angry...I've been stewing on this, watching this link being plastered all over my FB feed by friends, etc. and I've held my tongue. After the absolute MESS that group created yesterday with those altered buoy pictures and hundreds of calls to the USCG about them.... I'm livid.

Also just want to add that I can understand the Coast Guard needing to call off the search by now. I started to think about what it would take to free float with just a life jacket on and I realized that you have to constantly do some treading of the water to keep your head up and keep from gulping down sea water.
Whenever the waves would get even a little rough it would mean that you would be bobbing around and unless you do some treading, you would probably constantly be dunked every now and then. Especially if the waves got rough again.
Even on the calmest of seas I dont think you can just hang there without expending a little effort with your arms and legs.
So started to realize that after a few days of that exhaustion would take over and you could not physically be able to take it. You would likely give up and begin to get dunked under and have a few bad swallows of salt water and after a few of those it would basically be the end. Sorry to be so graphic but starting to realize that the Coast Guard is right with their estimates of how long someone can handle it free floating with a life vest.
Here's a Gulf Stream current map from today, you can see where it curves east out to sea.![]()

Altered buoy pictures? Are you saying the picture everyone is talking about on fb (I haven't seen it so I have no idea, just been reading along) is fake?

Phenomenal footage taken by a drone slightly south of where the boys went. Notice the incredible amount of **sharks**--check out the 4:30 minute mark!
Surreal!
