Sailing family requires U.S. Navy rescue after infant falls sick
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/sailing-family-requires-us-navy-rescue-after-infant-falls-sick/article17845622/
U.S. sailors rescued a family with an ill one-year-old baby from a sailboat that broke down hundreds of miles off the Mexican coast – boarding them Sunday onto a San Diego-bound Navy ship so the girl could get medical treatment.
The baby girl, Lyra, was in stable condition at 8 a.m. Sunday when sailors helped her, her 3-year-old sister, Cora, and her parents, Charlotte and Eric Kaufman leave their sailboat and brought them aboard the USS Vandegrift.
Good for the Navy rescuing the sick baby. Now, what kind of parents sail out in the middle of the ocean with babies? :mental:

Honestly? As a sailor, I know several, including a buddy of mine from high school who took his wife and family - all kids under the age of 6 when they left - on a cruise around the world in their 42 foot sloop. Took 41 months to complete the voyage.

The US Navy didn't rescue the baby, the USAF (Califonia Air Guard) pararescue did. The Navy just picked em up.
