A message home from a traveling child is likely one of the most powerful messages one can deliver.  If you don't believe it, just think back to when your child didn't call home.


In the following video, Kyle Jackson sends his mother a video message from Opua, New Zealand.  He speaks about Evi Nemeth's yacht, the Wonderland, which is in the video.  He says hello to his pal, Weston, Evi's nephew.  He talks about going to Australia.  He talks about the weather, as a lightening bolt strikes.


Most of all, he says those all important words.  


"I love you."

Two Lattes For The Nina 7



Can You Pass The Word?
You can also help by spreading the word.  Why not post on your face book page?  Why not embed the message in your web page?  Why not send this by twitter?  We need to get the message out.  For the price of two Starbucks Lattes, are we willing to sacrifice these 7 lives?

They Are Out There
The crew of the Nina are afloat in the Pacific Ocean.  How do we know?  No flotsam or wreckage was ever discovered.  A text message which took a month to retrieve shows the boat survived the storm that many claim sank the Nina.  Common sense explanations exist about the lack of communications.  For example, the satellite phone being used for communications could have gotten wet.  It's batteries depended upon a working engine that drove a heavy duty alternator to create power. 


The SPOT tracking device depended upon the satellite phone.  It wasn't reporting a great deal of the time anyway, likely due to a blackout in the vast Tasman Sea.


No one reports hearing about the Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) being tested prior to departure.  EPIRBs eventually fail.  Experienced sailors say they always tell their families when they test the EPIRB because they know the families are concerned.  There were no reports of a test in this case.


The Nina is no spring chicken when it comes to heavy weather sailing.  The Dyche family, the current owners, sailed the Nina through much worse conditions throughout their years of ownership.




Nina left Opua, New Zealand



The Nina had experienced crew aboard.  That includes computer scientist Evi Nemeth, who is known to be precise in her latitude and longitude calculations.  The Dyche family, as well as Danielle Wright, are experienced sailors.  Matthew Wootton has spent the last three years on a 'round the world' trip crewing on various boats and ships.  Kyle Jackson runs triathlons, is an ardent outdoors man and survivalist.


In 2011, the Scotch Bonnet, was abandoned in the Tasman Sea.  Over a period of 5 months, she bobbed her way to Australia.  During her entire voyage, she was spotted only one time.  We are sure the Nina will wash up on New Zealand or Australian shores.  If it takes five months, though, it may be too late for the crew.  


Your donation to the Nina 7 is critical to the lives of these people who had the bravery to live their dreams.  Can you spare two Starbucks latte's?
