Ship wreck sailor lost at sea!


Sadly one of the American sailors here is missing, the wreck of his boat was found 15 metres underwater off the south west coast of Nuka Hiva where we are.

Over the last few days we have all been involved in the search for him. His dingy which he uses as a liferaft too, has not been found, so everyone is hoping he is in it or got to land.

The other singlehanded sailors are particularly subdued & can be seen watching the French Navy & Air force divers ,helicopters and boats. Its been 6-7 days now so fingers crossed. 

We intend to leave for the Tuomotos soon, the wind is down at present too, so we are waiting for it to pick up.
