- This from the NY Times today (courtesy of Will Howard):
-
- "Four days of intensive searching have failed to turn up
- any signs of Mike Plant."
-
- A summary of the basic facts:
-
- |His departure was from New York on Oct 16.
- |
- |On Oct 27, the Canadian Coast Guard received a weak transmission
- |from his EPIRB.
- |
- |It was not until November 12 that the signal was linked
- |to Coyote.
- |
- |The search is being conducted in the area northeast of
- |Bermuda, with two USCG C-130 prop planes covering roughly 15000
- |square miles in the process.
- |
- |The US Navy is also expected to get involved in the search effort.
-
-
- This doesn't sound good to me.
