Sean Terry. Missing skipper mystery.

The 12th of July 2012 was my nephew's birthday and also the day I was asked to look into the case of a missing yachtsman.  This was to be the beginning of a yet to be solved mystery.  My sister contacted me and asked me if I could look into my nephew's godfather's disappearance psychically.  The known information at that stage was just that a man named Sean had somehow disappeared off his yacht, location and circumstances unknown.  I closed my eyes and "saw" a tall, thin, tanned blonde man dressed in colourful shorts.  He was standing on board a yacht which was moored in azure blue, sparkling sea and it was a very warm place. On the decking were some ropes and a crate as if things were being sorted out or tidied.  In the distance I could see a hazy island and it seemed to have greenery and large rocks on it.  Behind me was another land mass.  Suddenly I saw another man, dark and stocky, with a tribal tattoo on his left shoulder and almost Polynesian-looking, wielding a long metal object, his face like thunder, about to attack the blonde man.  I wondered why he was so fiercely angry.  The blonde man put his hands up and said "Is this for real."  He seemed genuinely shocked.  I saw no more after that.  I sent a message to my sister suggesting they look into what the crew had to say.  Information started filtering through on a Facebook page that had been set up by Sean's distraught family and through the media.  Sean Terry, a very experienced skipper, had been sailing around the globe, mostly solo, on his yacht Finnegan.  Sean and an Austrian scuba diver named Stefan Pokorney, set out from Sri Lanka across the Indian Ocean via the Maldives to the Chagos Archipelago and were to sail on to Madagascar and finally home to Cape Town for Christmas. Sean was last seen on the island of Chagos and there are photographs of him there. I realised that Sean was the blonde man I saw. The crew member was not the same man I had seen. The apparent chain of events from then on is that Finnegan, and another yacht called Alice, left Chagos and sailed in tandem en route to Madagascar until they parted ways in bad weather. Alice last communicated with Finnegan 18th of June and it was reported by her skipper that it was a positive conversation. The next contact with Finnegan was when she sailed into port at an island South of the Seychelles called Coetivy with only the crew member on board. The crew member stated that Sean had jumped overboard at night, in bad weather, in a fit of rage. This could be a believable story because tragic things happen to the best at sea, but for a few inconsistancies. Firstly, the Man Overboard Button was not pressed and protocol was not adhered to. Secondly, the weather forecast for the days in question indicated calm weather. Thirdly, laptops and the logbook holding vital navigational information and notes had disappeared and finally, Seans family, knowing him as they do, said categorically he would never behave like that. It was reported by officials on Coetivy that the crew member also did not behave in the manner of a man who has seen his friend apparently commit suicide. Finnegan arrived at Coetivy on the 25th of June and Sean's family was notified of his disappearance on the 11th of July. Eventually the crew member was arrested on suspicion of negligence and held in the Seychelles. Sean's brother's and best friend flew to the Seychelles to see what they could do. They felt they would come home with Sean or at least answers. This was not to be. The charges against the crew member were dropped because the case must be heard in the country of yacht's origin which is South Africa. Stefan went home without a word to Sean's family. One would think that an innocent man would do anything he could to help bring answers to a bereaved family, surely? Family and friend left the Seychelles no wiser than when they arrived. A huge blow. I have since met Sean's family and they are just amazing people. I cannot imagine what it must be like for them to live day to day wondering what really happened to Sean. Their utter frustration at not being able to speak to the last person who saw Sean and ask pertinent questions if, for nothing else, but to find a little peace must be soul destroying. Finnegan has since been sailed back to Cape Town. The investigation on the South African side has been stalled due to tardiness on the side of the Seychelloise authorities who have yet to send the necessary documents which adds insult to injury. This case must be heard. Questions must be answered. Sean and his family deserve to be given the benefit of a hearing and Stefan must tell his story so that a court can make a decision. I never met Sean, but I feel that if I were ever to meet him, he would be like an old friend. I have spent two years with him on my mind almost daily and will continue to work on his disappearance as long as it takes. Leave no stone unturned.
