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
