"Please note the family Labouovic and the skipper disappeared from the Bahamas... many miles North of Aruba.... check a map, you will see it close to USA and Aruba way south close to Venezuela.
It is quite likely the boat sank; tragic but it does happen. Maybe a more plausible explanation than yours... but I'm just guessing too."

I included the family Labouovic only because visitaruba.com, based on Aruba, included them amongst the missing. Now whether this was as a simple courtesy ie general heads-up to all the islands in the Carribean or because the family stated Aruba as one of their destinations (approx. 1100 miles from the southern tip of the Bahamas to Aruba). Site only gives the information that the family stated they were heading south. I do know for a fact Haiti was having very serious problems in 2001 (my sister runs a non-profit for the people of Haiti she hired me to build a website for the coalition of artists), Cuba has always been a problem and the family would have to pass between the two to get to Aruba. Shipwreck is the most likely scenario, I don't know enough about ocean currents to know where debris would end up if anywhere. Visitaruba.com included them so I did also.

The mother was apparently a well-respected artist. I did in fact attempt to find more information on where they planned to travel, much of what I found was in the Slovenian language. Son's friend born in Russia had to translate for me, not exactly the same language but similar enough to get the jist of the articles, no further info on their destination.
