C:Drive Found Adrift

We’re sad to report that Greg Stephanoff’s Catalina 42 C:Drive was found adrift in the Pacific with no sign of Stephanoff. The 60-year-old Honolulu sailor was last seen leaving the Ala Wai on October 3 bound for Hanalei Bay on Kauai. 

On November 7, a container ship spotted C:Drive adrift 1,300 miles west of Oahu and tried to make contact but received no response after repeated attempts. On November 15, a Coast Guard cutter reached the stricken vessel, where crew found no on aboard and no firm indication of what happened. The Coast Guard says a GPS and personal effects were taken from C:Drive — which was left adrift — in hopes they would offer clues to what might have happened to Stephanoff.
