Time is of the essence he does have survival knowledge and experience, respect of the sea and will to last this long. We take inspiration from Christopher Burgos
There will be more land efforts today. We need fit volunteers, ham radio and drone operators for today’s coastal search. We will be meeting at various points on the east coast beaches from Mayaro spreading outwards mostly north. Best meet up time 6am and morning period to catch the sun from the east.
Teams will start on the beach and work their way inland, search party style. Each team should hopefully have a ham radio operator or hand radio for effective reliable communication.
Hydration recovery protocol will be in effect and emergency air lift would be on stand by for taking my father Reinaldo Sr. To the hospital.
Please note COVID-19 Guidelines would be in effect.
Should you be able to volunteer, please message Reinaldo Jr. (Robbie) on 1 (868) 290-8636 with your possible availability times and you will be put on a team. We thank you in advance for your time investment to the cause.
