Our hopes to the Picton Castle crew

For those that haven´t heard... An International search is underway for a 25-year-old Canadian woman missing in the Atlantic Ocean since Friday when she was swept off the tall Ship Picton Castle on Friday night.

The CBC has two articles regarding this:

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/12/11/gainey-search.html
and the Picton Castle web site:

I´m not sure what to say, having crewed on a tall-ship and now as a member of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary - hearing About things like this brings feelings that are far too close to home. I have been on Board Picton Castle and I can only imagine what the crew there is going through at the moment.

My hopes and best wishes go to them... there is little more to say...
