The article names a David Brown, it's chainlinker Dan Brown. No final call on status but hoping for the best.

The Tribune correctly identifies Dan as the missing man. I'll hope for the best.

The picture in the trib is the same Dan Brown many of us know from here and other bicycle community events. I know along with biking he also sailed. Im in total shock. Praying for him.

I cannot believe this. Dan is a coworker of mine and has always been a very close friend since I started working with him. I am hoping to see him at work tomorrow morning with no knowledge that anyone was even looking for him...

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know what Dan might have been riding? He usually sails out of Montrose Harbor. They towed the boat to Belmont Harbor. I don't know the boat, so I don't know if it was moored in Montrose or Belmont. There are always a lot of bikes on the racks at Belmont and I ride by them every day. Anyone go to Montrose?

Thanks, Andy. Unfortunately, the latest update in the Tribune is not encouraging. I will have a look at the bikes at Belmont this afternoon.

Dan is an amazing dude, all the best thoughts to him! He helped us out at Bike to Brew and is always all over the place, we are sending him good thoughts!

This Tribune story is not encouraging at all. Very sad news. Even for a strong swimmer, 2 miles is a long way to swim again wind/waves out of the west.
