Ghost Yacht

[wraith]

That is the yacht that was taking part in the ARC race that was abandoned.

Information on the MOB from the Polish boat:
Suzana from the ARC+ spent the afternoon speaking with MRCC in Fort de France, and the Coast Guard in England, so this is accurate information.
He went overboard November 21, while trying to deal with the gennaker. The weight of the sail in the water dragged him in. His wife was able to toss the Dan Buoy overboard, but did not have the skills to rescue him. He is still missing. The ARC+ fleet has been notified to be on the lookout. The French authorities are concentrating on a 30 mile search area.
The man's wife was picked up by a passing ship.

I knew that tuner detectives would have figured this out schooner or later.

They seem to be closer to Barbados so am not sure why Martinique was alerted, this is a perfect salvage if the yacht is still in one piece.
