RedactedNarrative: According to a MISLE report (684617), a sailing vessel carrying two people and one dog was reported overdue on 7 June.  The subjects had departed Channel Island’s Marina on 26 May and intended to sail north to Sacramento via Catalina Islands and San Francisco.  The male had recently purchased the vessel and didn’t have much experience with it or the trip.   It had a dinghy, pfds, anchor, food and water.  The Coast Guard eventually suspended their searches after finding no results.
  
  The male’s body was washed ashore 4 August.  The cause of death could not be determined because of the degree of body decomposition.  He was reported to be a fair swimmer but in poor health.  The vessel and remaining occupant were not found.
