Default The search for Jim Gray is over.



From Latitude 38:


February 21 - San Francisco

The private search for missing singlehander Jim Gray and his
C&C 40 Tenacious was called off last week after three weeks
of intensive searching, first by the Coast Guard and then by
Gray's many friends in the computer science industry. Untold
numbers of volunteers scanned thousands of satellite images
looking for the boat or its debris. No sign of Gray or Tenacious
has been found.

The friends and family of Jim Gray are grateful for all the well
wishes and help they've received, and still hold out hope that
someday they'll get answers about what happened that lovely
January day. In the meantime, they would like to ask everyone
to keep an eye out for debris. Tenacious had a red hull with
large silver stripes and a black mast. Gray was probably wearing
a green sweatshirt and a red jacket when he disappeared. If you
spot any wreckage, contact the Coast Guard at (415) 399-3547
with its location.
