Missing At Sea

I'm so sad right now.

My friend and fellow blogger Abby Sunderland is missing at sea. She had been trying to circle the globe in her sailboat which left California in January. She is missing somewhere in the Indian Ocean 400 miles from the nearest ship and farther than that from the nearest landmass. Talk about being out in the middle of nowhere. Rescue efforts are in effect to locate her as she switched on two of her emergency beacons early this morning.





Please pray she is found and found safe too. I have cried deeply over this and I'm very concerned for her safety being she is so far from help. The nearest ship is over a day away.

You can follow updates of Abby on her blog, which is here. Her mom is doing the updates.

Please God, help her. Keep her safe until help arrives.

  2. Hi Cassandra!

    My eyes and ears are glued to every kind of news updates I can find on this. I'm very worried about her but at the same time I feel she may be safe on her boat just unable to communicate. Atleast I hope that is how this is. I would hate to be where she is right now. I would be so scared being out there wondering if anyone heard the beacons. Without them, she would be lost forever. She is in my prayers and will be until she gets home.

    Thanks for the comment and happy trails to you!
