Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

LOL yeah got to their head, and it all just went wrong.
It didn't just go wrong, socialist. They screwed it up. Those rocks were there long before these two fools were born.
Just as you socialists make the mistake of thinking you're smarter than everyone else, and can run their lives for them even though you have no grasp of their details at all, they thought they were smarter than everyone else, and could navigate without a stick of training. Just as you liberals demand to be allowed to pursue your own ideas despite generations of experience which obviously knows more than you do, they were just convinced their own ideas would serve them just as well as millennia of sailing that they arrogantly refused to learn from.
There's a lesson in this for you. But I sincerely doubt you'll allow yourself to see it.
They just got into their boat, without even knowing how to use it?
Why isn't that illegal yet? There should be required trainings or at least something

"They" have been agitating for that for years now...I amazed that it hasn't happened yet.
New jersey already requires one.
ETA - I take that back. It looks like you do in NJ. Another freedom gone. Why am I not surprised.
Many states do, for lakes or other inland waters that are not accessible to the sea.
But for bays, oceans, rivers, inlets and creeks that adjoin the navigable waters of the sea, you do not need a license to operate a non-commercial vessel not engaged in trade or a commercial fishing vessel under 300 gross tons.

They try to make it sound like it's a retiring couple who lost everything they'd spent a lifetime saving for, but I don't think it is. If everything they owned and all the money they'd ever saved only added up to $5000, they were doing a pretty poor job of making' it to begin with - or had not been living without parental support for very many years. It was an extremely unrealistic "dream" for them to have - and then, they didn't even bother to learn about sailing a boat first?! Not just foolish, probably border-line retarded. Maybe they're just hoping for a go-fund-me windfall. Wonder if the boat was insured?Broadwell and Walsh left Colorado last year after selling off all their belongings, including a car, to buy Lagniappe for $5,000. It took a year and another $5,000 to get the boat ready to sail, Tampa Bay Times reported.

That was what I assumed at first, then I clicked the go fund me link and found they were in their low-mid 20's. $#@!ing time to get back to work bums.
also, no insurance.
Nah, just a manifestation of the "participation trophy", "you're a special snowflake that can do whatever you want if you dream it" mindset.
Then this guy showed up:
gofundme raised $14,700. They won't learn a thing.
oh, they learned something alright, it just isn't personal responsibility.
No idea is too stupid to be funded.
