One of the sailors Jennifer “Fer” Appel, had an earlier career as an Amateur Motorcycle Roadracer. In her search for sponsorship she routinely embellished her accomplishments according to several of my friends who were involved in the sport. Perhaps a vivid imagination can be fueled by 5 months at sea, but the more I learn of their “ordeal”, the more skeptical I become. And to top it off, she’s claiming the rescue ship caused irreparable damage to her vessel by attempting to tow it. She is actually blaming their rescuers! Amazing! Chuck Gilchrest
