Rescue Stephen Sawyer & Clifford Dean Bahamas
Donation protected
On the morning of Friday March 5th 2021, Stephen Sawyer (passenger) & Clifford Dean (pilot) were involved in a plane incident near the west coast of Salina Point, Acklins, Bahamas. It was at these coordinates that their plane went off the radar.
The Royal Bahamas Defense Force, US Coast Guard and the volunteers at BASRA are helping in the search.
However, given that the debris found around the site does not match the craft Stephen & Dean were on, authorities agree that there is a greater chance of survival.
Stephen, my big brother and close friend, an adventure man & survivalist, assured me during a family conversation about the risk of flying small aircrafts, with great insistence that "he would escape the plane and do all it takes to survive." (He even carries a survival kit for these flights!!!)
We have been told that Dean, an island man at his core and Exuma native, is a seasoned pilot and knows the area well.
We know that they are out there and we are doing everything to get them home.
Please support us in these efforts as we will need to provide fuel, water and food for the fisherman, boaters who have already agreed to help us and those will more able to do so with fuel support.
We will also be providing fuel, water and food to those volunteers from Acklins and Crooked Island who are on the ground aiding in the search.
We also need to provide airfare, transportation, food and lodging, supplies such as machetes, chainsaws, drones, for the rescue team going down to assist in bringing them home.
The cost of these efforts depend on how long it takes us to find them.
Costs are upwards $20,000
Thank you for any support you can give and help with getting the word out.
