James “Jemsie” Nunan, 34, has been missing since August 18, while sailing near Gran Canaria, and his family are now urgently raising funds to support the ongoing search.

James, whose parents are Irish, was embarking on a round-the-world sailing trip when his yacht and pet dog were discovered near the Canary Islands ~ but the man himself was nowhere to be found.

His journey began in March after purchasing a yacht in Slovenia and alongside his loving Jack Russell, Thumbelina, he headed off on his adventure.
