Yesterday the ARC fleet was informed that a man overboard had been reported by Ocean Breeze, one of the fast racing monohulls in the rally.
MRCC Norfolk helped to coordinate a search by Ocean Breeze and other yachts who were close to the area, a long way ahead and further north from where Tintin is.
Today we have been told that the search for the missing crew member Dag Eresund has been called off, although yachts diverting to assist are being encouraged to pass through the area as planned.
It's a very great sadness and out thoughts are with Dag's family, and the skipper and crew of Ocean Breeze.
