Portugal - David Lea,67, missing from his boat Barca Di in Portimao Marina, Algarve, 11 August 2022

[StillDiggin]

David Lea, 64 years old, has not been seen since he took his boat out of Portimão Marina on Wednesday 11th August. On 12th of August the police found the boat, without David.

Dave (to his friends and family) has been living in the Algarve for over 15 years. More recently he was living on his boat, the Barca Di, in Portimão Marina while he looked for a permanent residence on the coast.

He sometimes contracted as a Telecomms Engineer but was semi-retired. He often visited Club Nau in Ferragudo, Portimâo.

As far as his family know, Dave went out in the boat on his own, which is unusual for him.

The British Embassy in Portugal are assisting, and Interpol and local police have started a search for David, with no luck so far.

If you are in the Algarve or southern Spain area, whether on land or sea, if you see or hear of David, please notify local authorities of the location. Call Polícia Marítima Portimão on 916 613 547.
