The 35-foot sailboat, Gypsy Soul, was empty when Nitchman’s boat was found which is what led to a collaborative search of the area including Nanaimo Search and Rescue, the Joint Coordination Centre, Coast Guard, and the Nanaimo RCMP.
The search came up unsuccessful, but police say anyone with information on the whereabouts of Nitchman is asked to contact Nanaimo RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
