That or they had the auto-pilot on and went overboard. Or maybe they just had a medical emergency on the boat and hit the deck.

Salvage rights?

Odd there's no bearing reported.

They've got a runaway THAT big, and all the usual assets (including the blimp, excuse me, heliostat) are unavailable?

I think we need to have a bake sale and get those guys some funding.

Just curious. How many hours of fuel would that hold?

I'm no expert, but I read the specs on a 50' boat that said it held 1,000 gallons of fuel. Maybe this one was similar?

Have no clue how to translate that into hours, but seems to me that's a lot.
