Another sailor you might find interesting is Evi Nemeth, Author of the excellent UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (more of a bible than a handbook, I recommend getting it to everyone); "Since her retirement, Nemeth has traded mountains for oceans and has sailed from Florida to the Caribbean via the Mediterranean, West Africa, and Brazil on her 40-foot sailboat named Wonderland. She is now in Trinidad in the West Indies and expects to transit the Panama Canal to the Pacific next year. Her son, Laszlo, lives in Boulder."

Evi has been missing at sea since 2013.

Sadly, yea. There is a whole website dedicated to the ship (Schooner Niña) and the SAR efforts http://www.schoonernina.com/

Good share. fascinating rabbit hole to fall down. Interesting to read about other vessels which had been lost or abandoned in the same area and many months later washed up ashore rather than sinking.

What a sad loss. Why do people sail into a storm with 100+ km/h winds and 7.5m waves?
