What happened?

The Coast Guard had announced in a Friday news release it was seeking the public's help in looking for Rubio and his sailing boat, “Malulani."

“The Coast Guard is greatly appreciative of the expert consult advice on weather and routes provided by experienced trans-pacific sailors,” said Douglas Samp, a search and rescue mission coordinator in the Rescue Coordination Center Alameda, in the statement.

Rubio set sail for Kaneohe, O’ahu, Hawaii, in the 32-foot Westsail sloop, on Dec. 28 from Long Beach, California. He was expected to arrive on Jan. 18 and was last heard from on Dec. 28 via cell phone when he told a friend he was leaving for Hawaii. He contacted the friend from south of Catalina Island, California.

He was expected to arrive at the island three weeks after setting sail, but he ended up reaching his destination a little over five weeks after his departure date.

According to the statement, the Cost Guard used "all available means to determine the Malulani’s location, including urgent marine information broadcasts (UMIB) and harbor checks in California, Hawaii, and Mexico."

The statement said the only form of communication onboard the ship was a VHF-FM marine band radio.
