PintoNag sends a link to the dramatic story from NBC News<\/a> which tells us about the rescue of a family attempting to circumnavigate the globe in their sailboat. The California Air National Guard sent a team of rescuers 800 miles off the Coast of Mexico to save the family;<\/p>\n

Members of the 129th Rescue Wing flew five hours Thursday from Moffett Federal Airfield, Calif., near San Jose, to the sailboat about 900 miles off the coast of Mexico on what the California National Guard called a “complex overwater rescue mission.”<\/p>\n

A parachute rescue team of four jumped into the ocean Thursday night, inflated a raft and boarded the 36-foot-long Rebel Heart, which is carrying Eric and Charlotte Kaufman of San Diego and their daughters, Cora, 3, and Lyra, 1, on the latest leg of what they’d planned to be a round-the-world voyage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I’m glad they rescued the family, but I hope they appreciate that the team of four also put their own lives in danger to effect the rescue. And that the American taxpayers paid for it.<\/p>\n

They didn’t get very far before they needed to be rescued, apparently;<\/p>\n
