Robert W. Gilsey was 57 when he was last known to have had contact on October 6, 2006, in Portland, Maine. He lived aboard a sailboat moored at Diamond Cove Marina and was described as a White male about 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch tall, 185 to 190 pounds, with gray or partially gray long hair and blue eyes.

On the evening he disappeared he was reported leaving Portland around 5:30 p.m. in his 23-foot motorized boat Ripple, headed toward his home on Great Diamond Island. Ripple was later found off Cape Elizabeth with the engine running, the throttle open, and the keys in the ignition but Gilsey was not on board; the boat had apparently run out of fuel. Coast Guard and Maine Marine Patrol search resources were deployed across waters south of Portland Harbor toward Cape Elizabeth before the search was suspended.

If anyone knew Robert, spent time on Casco Bay, or saw Ripple on October 6, 2006, can you share what you remember?
