A search is expensive, and there could have been many reasons why Kennedy didn't arrive when expected. I really am hoping that maybe somehow they survived. The recovery teams have searched or scanned all the areas where they might have landed and turned up nothing. The conditions today are much better than yesterday, when it rained or threatened to rain in the afternoon, when the dive teams went out. The water was choppy yesterday and divers said that going down in those conditions is like working in a snowstorm.
Visibility is much better today, above and, presumably, below the water.
Hopefully we will have better results and this terrible wait will end. I was on Martha's Vineyard Sunday and early Monday. There were some curiosity seekers among many journalists, tourists, summer residents and locals. The population on the island is 12,000 in the offseason. But it normally swells to 70,000 in the summer.
