Sorry

Sorry

I just received an email that accused me of telling lies and half truths.  To be very truthful this email put me under conviction because after re-reading the last report I could see how that could be seen.  So please let me explain in detail about the boat that is expected to arrive here in Israel tomorrow (Friday). 

This boat had never crossed the Mediterranean Sea, and we wanted to know how it would hold up in open water.  It was also necessary at the same time to remove the boat from Turkey.  My wife and son met up with some Israelis in Turkey and together they left for Israel.  They were all Jews but my statement seemed to make people think it was a rescue operation, it was not a rescue operation, because at this time that is not necessary but it will be very soon, and this boat really needed to be tested. So I am sorry if I mislead anyone, some times a better and fuller explanation is necessary and this time I missed the boat. (so to speak). 

The boat will leave Cyprus Thursday morning with (all Jewish Passengers) but not rescued Jews, they are Jews who just wanted to ride home on the boat on this trial run.  By the way they ran into some really rough seas between Turkey and Cyprus and it performed very well in those seas and that is very important for us to know.  My major concern is still that boat does not have a radar and at night with poor visibility that is very dangerous in those waters these days. 

In any event I apologize once again for not being clearer. 

Shalom, jerry golden
