UPDATE: October 2, 2021

An alert cruiser provided the following information which was passed to the USCG RCC Boston.

“She was in Bucks Harbor Brooksville, Maine Wednesday night and I saw her leaving Eggemoggin Reach heading southwest around 11am Thursday. AIS was working. She is a beautiful old yawl, completely restored a few years ago. If she was off Metinicus Friday afternoon, there are light winds so I think she should show up in Massachusetts Bay today.”

From Glenn Tuttle to the alert cruiser: 

“I gave your information to USCG Boston who was very grateful for the help. Coincidentally, one of the USCG aircraft spotted her this morning and she is fine. This is what it’s all about. Cruisers Helping Cruisers! Thanks”
