British Yacht In Pacific, Unknown Whereabouts

[cking]

Does anybody know the whereabouts of a Britch registered sailing yacht, "AQUARIUS" of Plymouth, England? 33' Ketch, GRP, white hull, centre cockpit, flies Blue Ensign. The captain is Arthur H Robbins, 72, retired Royal Navy. Last made contact from Tahiti some 4 months ago. Known to have been ill on board and suffering bad hand injury. Has been making regular email contact before, now nothing. Would appreciate it if someone knows where he is and how he is. Friends anxious.
