Solo Sailor Safely Reaches Bermuda
A 42-foot sailing vessel safely arrived in Bermuda, after a scenario which had included the US Coast Guard searching for him.
A Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre spokesperson said, “Sunday 24th November 2024 – 4:15pm – Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre was contacted by the US Coastguard at RCC Norfolk, requesting any information on the 42ft Sailing Vessel CEOL MOR with 1 person onboard, which had departed Norfolk, Virginia and was bound for North Carolina.
“A concerned family member in the UK had raised concern, having not heard from the vessel as per an arranged communications schedule. The US Coastguard had been conducting searches for the vessel using C130 aircraft without success and had reached out to RCC Bermuda in the chance they may have altered plans to come to the Island.
“On Thursday 28th November at 05:30am Bermuda Radio established VHF radio communications with the inbound Sailing Vessel CEOL MOR, who had diverted his passage plan to Bermuda due to weather conditions off the US East Coast, the single handed sailor arrived safely into St Georges Harbour at approximately midday and was advised, how much concern and effort had been made following his diversion and loss of communication with family members ashore.”
