Jacques Pierre Gamache, 66, was last seen August 23, 2001, leaving Smyrna Marina in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, at noon aboard his 37-foot sailboat Concessions, bound for Ponce de Leon Inlet. He never arrived. The Concessions was found the next day 25 miles offshore, out of fuel with the sails down; two large black duffel bags Gamache had taken aboard were missing. A search covering about 1,700 square miles turned up no sign of him.

At the time he disappeared Gamache was entangled in a contentious divorce, behind on alimony and facing a pending felony criminal mischief charge from September 2000; he was due in court the week after he vanished. He had never sailed alone before that day. Some have speculated he left voluntarily, possibly heading to Cuba, but no evidence has ever been found to support that theory.

Does anyone have information about Gamache’s last voyage, the Concessions, or the missing duffel bags?
