Yanni Nikopoulos and Dale Jones, of Virginia Beach, were reported missing after they were expected to return home from a sailing trip to Portugal’s Azores islands.
“It came out of nowhere! The wind was so strong it leaned the boat to port side,” Jones wrote in the May 16 caption. “I guess it’s a little taste of what to expect on occasion.”
And it came out of nowhere! The wind was so strong it leaned the boat to port side. I guess it's a little taste of what to expect on occasionYanni and Jones departed June 8 from Old Comfort Point Marina in Hampton and set sail for the Azores, an archipelago of nine volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean known for dolphin and whale watching.
Terrell said the reported damage was to a sail. She said the couple had a backup sail, but “we’re not sure whether they were able to make repairs out at sea and continue on to the Azores or if they turned around and went farther north.
In addition, the Coast Guard is tracking their cellphone and radio pings while working with its counterparts to narrow down a search area for the aircrews, Chief Brian Gainey, command duty officer, said in a statement. “In situations like this, where there are so many unknowns, our coordination efforts need to cast a wide and intentional net,” Gainey said. “It’s a lot of detective work, but it’s all in service to finding these two individuals and bringing them home to their families.”
