Has anyone looked into the weather conditions on October 6, 2006, when Robert Gilsey disappeared? The fact that his boat, *Ripple*, was found adrift with the engine running and throttle open makes me wonder if it could have been weather-related. I know that sometimes rogue waves or sudden storms can catch sailors off guard, especially if they're out in a smaller boat like a 23-footer. It might explain why the boat was still running but empty. Did any of the reports mention unexpected weather changes that day? Just trying to piece together any clues that might have been overlooked considering the searches turned up nothing and there's been no new info for years.
Hey everyone, I’ve been reading about Robert Gilsey’s case, and something that caught my attention is his lifestyle. He lived on his sailboat at Diamond Cove Marina. People who choose to live on boats usually have a unique, independent lifestyle, right? It's interesting to think about how this might have played into his disappearance. Was he planning to go somewhere that day, or did he regularly take his powerboat out? The engine running with the throttle open seems strange if he wasn’t intending to go full throttle somewhere. It makes me wonder about his routine and if someone who knew his habits might have had a role in what happened. Anyone familiar with life on a boat have any insights?
Has anyone else noticed the odd timing regarding Robert Gilsey's disappearance? October is when the water starts getting colder around Portland, Maine. Could it be possible that weather conditions played a larger role than initially considered? I've been trying to dig up historical weather reports from that day, but no luck so far. Maybe rough seas or sudden weather changes contributed somehow? It just strikes me as peculiar that the throttle was open and the boat ran out of fuel... almost like he was in a hurry or caught off guard. If anyone else has info or theories about the weather aspect, it could be worth exploring further.
