Default Missing San Francisco Sailor

Still haven't found the sailor or his boat or his boat debris?

So, the last thing we heard was that he called his daughter from his boat,
15 miles past the Golden Gate, on his way to the Farallon Islands where he
was going to scatter his wife's (his mother's?) ashes. The daughter said he
sounded in good spirits. He never returned and his boat has vanished.

So what happened?

Is it Gray whale season there? We had a few Gray whale attacks each year
in SoCal. These can easily sink a boat and the debris not be recognized
as from the boat when they wash on shore. I mean, paper plates are paper
plates.
