Yacht missing around Gisbourne

I hope it's not him.
Last time he was on here, I think he was Coromandle and wanting to get to Auckland. But then we have always had a confusing array of places from him.
Luna rings a Bell though. Not sure why. Anyone with time want to look at his past posts and see if he mentioned his boats name?

Reporting's a bit vague, but was he actually lost?

 

Seems like a few people on shore freaked out. Doesn't seem like he gave a concrete plan and those who knew him were concerned. Dunno if that's good or bad...

Gotta love the herald reporting. Was missing since Friday even though we was spotted anchored on Monday. Almost a Schrödinger's Cat situation! Are you missing if someone else doesn't know where you are?!?????????????

does come across a bit big brother

 

imagine going for a tramping trip

 

camping in a gorge

 

helicopters being sent in after you, hovering above your campsite

 

then rangers walking in to give you a sat phone

 

and very firm instructions to call your mother!

Personally I think the responsibility lies with the sailor. No voyage plan, no comms, no obvious sign of distress should result in no search.

I know this is not the PC view, and that in the current environment the authorities did the right thing. I just don't agree with it. Personal responsibility is something sadly lacking in many....
