Lost sailor

Just came across this. If any one can help I'm sure they would appreciate it.

https://dogtorbill.wordpress.com/201.../wheres-emily/

She took a week leave from the boat she works on as a stew/mate to grab what she thought would be the adventure of a lifetime; And so she left the Turks and Caicos Islands on the 31 foot “Tara” on Thursday, February 19, bound for the town of Luperon, in the Puerta Plata Province of the Dominican Republic.

“Tara” is a Bristol 31.5 ft single mast sloop, renowned for its safety, and skippered by her owner, Nicholas Brown. Her last known location was Salt Cay, Turks and Caicos at 15:41 on the 19th, asking for a weather report, and stating that their GPS had gone down.

Re: Lost sailor

They have an EPIRB, but no EPIRB signals have been received. If I were the Dad, that would make me feel better
