 Tim Weltermann is missing since November 4, 2003. He went on an Adventure – Crossing of the Atlantic Ocean leaving Gran Canaria on a two-seater Canoe on October 26, 2003.

 He last spoke to his parents on November 4, 2003 by phone and stated that he had only mastered 300  miles so far but was in good spirit and health. His goal was to reach Antigua in 80 days. His location was then 25.33 North and 19.33 West.

 His family is very worried that something might have happen to him and sends a list of items which he had on board with him. It may have been found by someone of this island.
