THE US Coast Guard suspended its Pacific Ocean search for star Chinese sailor Guo Chuan after searchers boarded his drifting yacht and confirmed he was not there but that his lifejacket had been found.
His support team said yesterday that Guo had gone missing after being thrown into the water by high winds on Wednesday.
The 51-year-old was attempting to set a new solo trans-Pacific world record.
Guo “was a professional mariner with a deep passion for sailing Customized Dodgers Jerseys ,” the Coast Guard’s Captain Robert Hendrickson said in a statement yesterday.
“Our deepest condolences go out not only to his family and friends but also to his racing team and the sailing community.”
Footage released by the Coast Guard showed Guo’s trimaran Qingdao China drifting across the waves hundreds of kilometers west of Hawaii, its red sail emblazoned “Peace and Sport.”
Both a US Navy helicopter crew and a Coast Guard Hercules aircraft overflying the vessel had previously been unable to contact Guo, it said.
In 2013, Guo, 51, became the first Chinese sailor to complete a nonstop solo circumnavigation of the globe and he is by far the country’s biggest sailing star.
He set off from San Francisco on October 18 in an attempt to set a record crossing of the Pacific, but his team lost contact with him on Tuesday.
They alerted US authorities, and searchers from the USS Makin Island amphibious ship reached the Qingdao China yesterday.
“The boat crew confirmed Chuan was not on the vessel although his life jacket remains aboard,” the Coast Guard said.
Searchers lowered the mainsail and left the Qingdao China at sea, it added, saying that his racing team was arranging to salvage the vessel.
The team said Guo’s personal items had been recovered.
In a diary entry for October 20, posted by his team, Guo said that listening to a recording of his two sons’ laughter on his computer was “the world’s most beautiful song, the song that puts me most at ease.”
Guo had previously said that his greatest fear was to fall in the water, Xinhua news agency reported, citing him as saying: “I fear being separated from the ship when I am sailing solo.”
Guo’s team said they had observed that his speed had slowed on Tuesday and attempted to contact him, but he did not answer either satellite calls or Internet communications.
The US searchers had found a broken sail in the water, they added.
Chinese fans expressed their fears for the mariner, with one writing online that it was “likely he was adjusting or repairing the sail when he was struck or an accident occurred and he fell.”
The Coast Guard said it was called when Guo’s team had not received notification from him for 24 hours.
The sailor had previously been “in constant contact” with his shore team and family and was “not likely to miss scheduled calls,” it added.
The Coast Guard search had covered an area of around 12,000 square kilometers over two days.
MADRID, March 28 (Xinhua) -- The end of the final international break before the end of the season means that in Spain attention focuses on the run into the end of the domestic season which returns with the biggest game of the season as FC Barcelona entertain historic rivals Real Madrid in "El Classico".
In terms of the destiny of the BBVA Primera Liga the game does not have much at stake given that Barcelona lead second place Atletico Madrid by nine points and Real Madrid by 10 with just eight games left to go, but in terms of pride and morale there is still everything to play for.
Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-0 in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in their first meeting earlier this season, a result which began to see the criticism rain down on former coach Rafael Benitez, who was sacked and replaced by Zinedine Zidane at the start of January.
The Madrid squad insist they are happier with Zidane in charge, but the fact is that their performances have not improved much under his leadership and although they beat Sevilla 4-0 before the international break, the result can partly be explained by key absences in a Sevilla side that had played in the Europa League three days earlier.
A trip to the Camp Nou will give us the chance to see just where Real Madrid really are ahead of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Wolfsburg and show whether or not they have a realistic chance of winning an eleventh European title.
For Barca meanwhile the game is a matter of pride and also of morale ahead of their decidedly tougher Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid.
Victory over Real Madrid would merely confirm their status as favorites to become the first side ever to retain the Champions League and would show they are still top dogs in Spain.
But for Barcelona the game has a far more emotional edge to it. It will be the first game they have played following the death of legendary former player and coach Johan Cruyff through lung cancer on March 24th.
Cruyff is widely credited as the man who changed Barcelona' s mentality and style, bringing in the total football which has seen the club dominate both Spain and Europe in recent years through his protegees such as Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique.
The club has already opened up an area for fans to pay tribute and there even calls for the name of the Camp Nou to be changed to the "Johan Cruyff Stadium", but for Barca's fans and players there is probably a better way to remember the great man: by beating Real Madrid on Saturday with the whole world watching.
It’s very distressing to talk with a partner directly and turn into distressed that you have a case of bad breath. A large number of motives exists for gaining dog breath.
