A 25 foot sailboat sent out on the open Pacific ocean by Visionquest on a survival cruise became a death trap when lack of seaman ship and possible ignoring of weather forecast meant that the sailboat was caught in a storm the crew and students could not survive.
Among the deaths were:
- 15-year-old Robert Doyle Erwin
- Lyle Foodroy
- 17-year-old Robert Zimmerman
- 16-year-old Charles Lucas
- 14-year-old James Lamb
- 19-year-old Bernard Reefer
- 17-year-old Eric David Schibley
Did that stop Visionquest from sending teenagers out into open sea? No. What was then learned? What is your opinion on that?
