Boater Missing off the Coast of Baja California


Ralph "Jeff" Peak, 59, aboard the 32-ft woodie Richmond II. The double-ender, built in 1934, is a flush deck cutter with a cream hull and white sails. Peak was reported to have left Puerto Salina — just northof Ensenada — around February 1, bound for Cabo San Lucas.


His shoreside contact, Stuart Adkins, expected to hear from him by Valentine's Day but he has yet to make contact. If you have any info on Peak or Richmond II, contact Adkins at (740) 745-2010. Jeff set sail in the Richmond II on February 1, 2008 departing from Salinas, Mexico (in between Tijuana and Ensenada) in route to La Paz. He had planned to stop in Cabo San Lucas to purchase provisions. This trip would be just a leg of his journey to and through the Panama Canal and up to the Gulf of Mexico.
