S/Y Domina, sailing from St Maarten to the Azores, is overdue

[Bajansailor]

I received the following email from Mike Ramage of the Boat Watch Net (www.boatwatchnet.org) a few days ago, but forgot to post it then.
Have not received any updates from Mike since, hence I assume that she is still overdue.
If anybody has any news of her, please do contact Mike on mcramage@boatwatchnet.org

I googled her, and I think that this may be the vessel :

That's a serious bit of kit.

I know of one yacht bound for the Azores that finished up in the Cape Verdes this year.

Also there has been some storms on the usual route so delays are possible.
