A short summary of the report in English:

A white 40ft American flagged sailboat was spotted from shore at Boca de Uchire apparently adrift. When boarded by local authorities no crew was found aboard and the cabin had apparently been ransacked and the name erased.

Port authorities in Pampatar stated that a recreational sailboat named “Zulay 2” set sail from Margarita on 7 Jan 2013 and has not been heard of since. They did not mention what destination was noted on the departure permit.

Our thanks to Terry Bannon for passing on this news.
