sad... hope they find them ok.

Coast Guard reported that no evidence of any boater distress has been found,I hope nobody would joke about something so extreme, As this is serious stuff!!!.....And if they are out there hope they are found!

Apparently no wreckage or debris has been found and no family members have filed missing persons claims or come forward so sadly it's possible someone was pulling a prank. Also, if they were only 2.2 miles out of Galveston and did make it into their life raft, their chances of getting found should be alright considering how many air and sea assets the CG is using to find them and the good weather. And they've apparently already searched an area the size of Delaware. If it is a prank, they deserve an a#$ whoopin for causin such hype. The CG has mobilized a lot of assets for this search and those men and women don't deserve to be pranked. If it isn't a prank then, hopefully they turn up alright.

Amen Cat!!

I hope the Hoaxers have a major car wreck and die.

[Jerkyourcroaker]

If this is a hoax, I hope the maggot that made the call is dragged to bottom of the ocean for all eternity. I hope the mighty creator puts them in charge of the vat of goo that is required to keep hard heads and gafftop properly slimy. I hope they are never allowed to rest.

This is starting to sound like the missing man at the Wal Mart in Kemah a few weeks ago. Withdrew 100 and showed up later. I've done that but didn't make the news.
