HMS Bounty nearly 24 hours ago now. 14 of 16 crewmembers were rescued safely.

Been following the news like hawk all day, and it makes me a bit mad when I see people expressing sadness for the loss of the ship without mentioning the missing crew. Yeah it was a cool ship, lord knows I love tallships, but people died here. ):

I am sorry. Isn't there still at least some hope for the missing crewman?

I'm going ahead and saying "never say never" and not describing him as dead but its hard to imagine how he could survive 24 hours in that water d:

It is a scary thought.

now that he is most likely no longer with us, its actually a little less stressful I feel, than earlier when I felt like while I was sitting here he was at that very moment bobbing around in the water. Like last night I was stayed up till 2 following news updates and then I felt like I should go to bed, but at the same time felt almost guilty about it, climbing into my nice warm bed knowing that there were two people lost in the ocean...
