Missing Sailboat traveling from Cabo north
Missing Sailboat traveling from Cabo north along the west coast of Baja should be in the Magdalena Bay area
Michael Joyce sailing a Catalina 36 named Interlude who fueled in Cabo marina on Dec 29.
He has not been in contact since that date and we are seeking any information you may be able to provide about him. Even the time he left the fuel
dock would be helpful.
Thanks for everyones help

I shall contact other cruisers to keep a sharp eye out and ask any northbounders for any info.

I would say it's a little early to panic but if he has a single side band (which he should) that would be your best bet to reach him at sea.

If you are very concerned, you might check with the local fishing co-ops and ask if they have seen anything.
Good luck and I hope you hear soon

There are many boats on the Pacific side of Baja coming and going. Most have SSB radios and can report boats they have seen at anchorage etc. Find a
ham operator and get on the Chubasco Net on 7294 mHz LSB at 8:30 MST daily. There is a health and welfare section that will inform boaters of your
concern. Most boaters use this net as they travel.

just got a report that he fueled up in mag bay on Dec.30th...was there a half hour and in a big hurry to get north...and another report that he also
took on fuel in Turtle Bay so sounds like he's OK and just speeding north taking advantage of this great weather window and hasnt gone ashore to email
or anything....rascal.

He's smart to travel quickly in this nice weather. I've done the Cabo/SoCal run many times and never got it good. The worst part is from Cedros Island
> north.
