Trevor Moore: MIA

[Dorado]

This doesn't sound good.

(CNN)An Olympic sailor is missing after his boat was found Thursday night near a Miami marina.
The U.S. Coast Guard was called Thursday after Olympian Trevor Moore's unmanned dinghy drifted into the Dinner Key Marina.

Officials are certain Moore was on board before encountering some type of distress, Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma of the Coast Guard's 7th District told CNN.

"We know Moore was on the dinghy from personal items we found on board."

Agencies are scouring the area by boat and helicopter to find the sailor, Somma said.

Moore finished 15th in the 2012 Olympic Games in the 49er class event -- a two-person team race in a high-performance dinghy similar to a small sailboat.

He graduated from New York's Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 2007, according to his Team USA profile.

Moore splits his time living in North Pomfret, Vermont, and Naples, Florida, the site said.

I learned to sail in CG and sailed there for 40 years.

I afraid this won't have a happy ending.

I've known Trevor since he was a kid growing up on Cape Cod @ H.Y.C. Trevor's from a family of sailors If anyone could make it out of the water that would be him. So I'm guessing he needs the help of anyone available around the area of Dinner Key Miami.Godspeed!

Considering the high water temp and trevor's fitness level, no reason to lose hope for a good ending yet

On Thursday, Moore, a member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic sailing team, was reported missing when security personnel at Dinner Key Marina, Miami, found his unmanned 16-foot boat at the marina just before 6 p.m. The boats engine was running and Moores personal belongs were found

OK, so....
ALWAYS WEAR THE FUCKING KILL CORD.

I know that especially in the Olympic coaching fraternity, they're a bit too cool for school for mundanities like that, but it's incredibly fucking stupid not to.
