Sanford Warren Delano, 44, was last seen July 2, 1983, when he and two companions, Stephen Cook and John Lusher, went missing at sea about three miles off the coast of Davenport, north of Santa Cruz, California. The three men had been on a fishing or boating trip and neither the men nor their vessel were ever found.

Official searches were conducted after their disappearance but produced no bodies, wreckage, or significant leads. All three were declared lost at sea and remain listed in national missing persons databases. Friends and family have sought closure, but there is no conclusive explanation for what happened during that outing.

Did anyone in the area around Davenport in July 1983 see a small boat or remember anything that could shed light on this trip?
