Chinese fire drill.

They were all old enough for alzheimers, so they probably forgot to get back on board.

But what could have shredded the sail like that? The weather had been fairly calm and they'd only been gone a few days. And how long will a boat run? Guess it depends on the size of the tank, huh? They didn't say what condition the food was in on the table, either. I was just wondering how long they'd been gone. Strange, indeed. -Noodle

One of the biggest mysteries aroundhere in years!
They also had the docking thingies out as if someone docked with them-but there were no boats found!

It just gets weirder and weirder!

Well, that sounds like someone came alongside and picked them up. Still, the shredded sail doesn't follow... Pirates -Noodle

This article has some better details. It's an interesting story...

A typical diesel for that size boat, at idle, should burn less than 1/2 gallon an hour. A 60+ gallon fuel tank would be normal.
