The couple thanked the 129th Rescue Wing of the California Air National Guard and the crew aboard the USS Vandergrift, saying, "We will remember them forever." In response to unsolicited offers of support, they asked that donations be sent instead to That Others May Live Foundation, a nonprofit group that assists families of Air Force rescuers who die on duty.
A satellite phone ping from the sailboat on April 3 set off a huge rescue effort that involved skydiving U.S. National Guardsmen, three federal agencies, a plane, a frigate and scores of personnel. It also sparked a debate over parenting and the propriety of hitting the high seas with two young children.
When the family and their rescuers returned to California, sailors said poor visibility, winds of 10 knots and rough seas kept them from sending a rescue boat to the Kaufmans for hours. When they reached the family's sailboat, waves up to 2.4 meters high forced them to offload one person at a time. The effort took two hours.
