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. Your generosity, kindness, and prayers have kept us going during what has been the darkest time of our lives. Weather reports show mild conditions, so the damage to his jib makes no sense to the family.
