IIRC, it was after about 3 or 4 days of repeated attempts at getting a boat to radio in that they would declare them lost.

IIRC, it was after about 2 or 3 days of repeated attempts at getting a boat to radio in that they would presume them lost. After about 2 weeks (owing to the fact that even a boat with a busted radio could return home in that amount of time) they would officially declare them lost at sea.

hehe I've done that before. That's about the only time I send a status report. If BdU doesn't ask, I won't reply. I maintain a strict order of radio silence. Don't know if it matters in the game or not, but I'm not willing to take a chance. Plus, it's just useless.:lol:
