Ntica, perhaps some of our fellow Sailfarers down in the South Seas will keep their eyes and ears open for this gentleman's whereabouts.
Hope he's just found a nice island to anchor and fish in for a while, and then turns up happy and healthy a little later!

His mast broke in the Indian ocean, he was found alive after 80 days adrift.

Sorry for the necro.

Good news!

We all too often don't get the follow-ups on announcements like this.

Don't worry about the necro; this was the appropriate place to post this.  Thanks for the update.

Good news is always welcome, even if it is in Swedish.

Your short translation is the most important part.

Thanks, Janotse.

Glad that you let us know about this, Janotse! I just realized this was originally posted in 2012.
