Has anyone else considered how difficult it must have been for the crew member who found Leslie to have to let go? I can't stop thinking about what it would be like to be in that situation. You're trying to save someone, but the sea is just relentless. The weight of that moment must be unimaginable, knowing you did your best but it wasn't enough. It's a tough thought, and I hope they are getting the support they need to cope with this. Any insights into how rescues are typically handled in such rough conditions? It seems like it would be nearly impossible to hold onto someone in those circumstances.
Does anyone else find it curious that the search efforts didn't yield any of Leslie's personal belongings or debris from the Gail S? I mean, even in rough seas, you'd expect something to resurface or be washed ashore eventually. It makes me wonder about the intensity or thoroughness of the search operations. In other cases, even days after an incident, search teams have at least found some flotation devices or small items. Did anyone hear if there were any subsequent searches or plans to continue looking when the weather improved? It's just strange that there isn't more chatter about any follow-up efforts. Thoughts?
