BOLO for Sea Nymph

By Andy Turpin | June 7, 2017 | Pacific Ocean |

US Coast Guard station Oahu is seeking information on Sea Nymph, a Morgan 45 that had been sailing south from Oahu to the Marquesas, and is now considered long overdue. The blue-hulled vessel was last heard from on May 3, and was reported missing May 19. Our understanding is that Sea Nymph was traveling independently, with two crew aboard.

Meanwhile, some vessels participating in the annual Pacific Puddle Jump are also converging on the Marquesas, and one of that fleet is also long overdue. As reported earlier, singlehander Richard Carr, 71, aboard the Union 36 Celebration, is believed to be in distress. Carr left Puerto Vallarta May 2. His last contact on May 28 located Celebration at 06° 53’N, 127° 35’W, traveling on a course of 247° true at 0.7-1.1 knots.

If you have information on either vessel, please contact the US Coast Guard’s Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Honolulu at (808) 535-3333 or email [email protected].
