S/V WINDWALKER - FOUND SAFE

RCC's, All stop on any investigative efforts! The S/V WINDWALKER has been located safe in Antigua. For all of you who opened this Blog up, read it and did some preliminary investigative work, thank you on behalf of these two sailors. v/resp, Geoff Pagels

OVERDUE S/V - REQUEST ASSISTANCE

RCC'S, We are currently working what appears to be a fairly sticky overdue case. The S/V WINDWALKER (US flag, 14 meter) departed the Canary Islands on 28 Nov bound for Antigua, with two crew a 74 year old male and a 64 year old female. Reports indicate that during the period winds have been light along the track line. We have heard that other S/V in the area are "motoring in" due to the light winds. We estimate the S/V to be at least 5-6 days overdue. Port checks are going to be conducted in Antigua this morning. If any of you have any information regarding this S/V please call RCC NORFOLK or e-mail d05-smb-d5cc@uscg.mil. Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Geoff Pagels
