According to the Newport News, the Sedona was owned by Jason McGlashan, who purchased it on eBay, the online auction site, for $10,000. Jason McGlashan told the paper he and his father, Reg, planned to make the 8,600-nautical mile voyage to Port Macquarie, Australia, over six to eight weeks.
“We’ve never done anything like this. Dad’s not even a sailor, but he’s a quick study,” Jason McGlashan told the Newport Daily News. “We’ve got plenty of food, plenty of booze, good sails and all the safety gear you could ever need, so we’re going to be OK.”
I said before that these two should be banned from America. Well, I changed my mind. These two should do jail time. I’m not even joking. Lock them up and put a plaque on their cell wall with their own quote on it. Under the quote plaque hang photographs of every Coastie that has ever died rescuing civilians at sea.
Jason McGlashan and his father have no respect for mother nature, no respect for science, and they have no respect for their fellow man. Get these morons out of the general population before they kill someone.
P.S. “Dad’s not even a sailor” is the understatement of the year.

My sentiments exactly……
Make them pay for the cost of rescuing their stoopid asses.
Idiots should be jailed for endangering the lives of the rescuers. I almost wish they'd have drowned and gotten a posthumous Darwin award.

Tom Hanks did it with even less supplies and lost his buddy. No one complaining about him and he got rescued. RIP Wilson.
