Frenchman Jean-Jacques Savin, 75, who was trying to row across the Atlantic, is still missing off the Azores. In any case, this is what the Portuguese Navy announced on Sunday, while his entourage had indicated the day before that his body had been “found lifeless” inside his boat.
“The search ended (…) without it being possible to find the victim“, said the Portuguese navy in a press release. There have therefore been communication problems. Jean-Jacques Savin’s team is seeking to clarify the situation.
The adventurer’s canoe had indeed been found off the Azores, with the man’s identity papers, but not his body.
