Crazy Idea?

[Destroyer]

The thought is wonderful. But in practicality it's not such a good idea.

The ocean after a major blow like this will still be roiled to the point that our boats would not make it. They would be swamped and we would all probably die. At the very least, instead of helping, we would become the objects of a massive search, pulling much needed resources away from the very people that we were trying to help. If the ocean were calm then yes, it *might* be possible, assuming that everyone had extra fuel aboard to make that long of a trip. Lets say 90 miles @ 25 miles per hour = a 4 hour trip.

This is not the time of the year to be thinking about such a voyage. It's Hurricane season. Look at the sat images of Dorian and you can already see another storm in it's wake. I can guarantee there will be another one after that, and another after that one. They average about once a week for the next two months. So the sea will not have any time to calm down.

Your idea is a wonderful one and if anyone wants to help those people I would suggest the best way would be to make a donation to the American Red Cross.
