James ‘Jemsie’ Nunan vanished in August during a round-the-world sailing trip. When the family lost contact, they launched a search in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, where the 35-year-old was last seen. In a statement, the family said: “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. “We had truly hoped that by now, this nightmare would be over and Jemsie would be safely back with us. Weather reports show mild conditions, so the damage to his jib makes no sense to the family.
