Title: Poor Crew members of Berserk
Post by: Captain Best on February 25, 2011, 10:53:17

For some days ago, Berserk sent out emergency tones at Antartic.
 
Berserk the famous norwegian sailing yacht.
The captain is at land but three crew members is still on the ship.

I've seen these guys on many Norwegian tv shows and I hope and pray for that these guys are still
alive.

Steve Irwin and some other ship is completing a full search :)

So I'm praying hard and hope that these guys are still alive

May God be with you

The life raft of the Berserk has been found, but unfortunately there is no sign of the three men missing..
The sole survivors seem to be the skipper and another crew member, who are now heading for McMurdo base on 2 ATV's..

I doubt they are alive now. To have SOS'ed and the liferaft recovered, I don't think it was just 'ripped off the boat by the wind'.

Life at sea sucks sometimes. I once had to work on a Princess which had nosedived into a wave, killing everyone onboard. When you go out to sea, it's with the knowledge that one day it could be you. Even so, you brave the danger, and you enjoy it while you can.

I feel sorry for the families :'(
