JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Two Florida women adrift on a weathered sailboat in the Atlantic Ocean for the past three weeks are "doing just fine so stop asking, okay," according to US Coast Guard officials.
Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville attempted to rescue Allison Zwearcan and Tina Santamaria about 10 miles east of Mayport when they were immediately told over VHF channel 16, “It’s okay. Whatever,” and that maybe if they listened every once in awhile, just maybe they might already know what was wrong.
The two women have been sailing in circles just outside the breakwater for a number of days. Other mariners reported their position and said there seemed to be something wrong, but weren’t sure, it's just, we don’t know, we're getting a pretty negative vibe.
