What ever happened to Ross Allen?

Article Abstract:

The story of Australian, Ross Allen, sailor and adventurer is described as his daughter writes that he left for Marquesas from the Galapagos Islands, which was a 3000-mile journey only with the wind, his boat and the net schedules. Four months later his 40-foot sloop Ariaka was found adrift and vandalized, but the lifelong adventurer, presently in his sixties, is still missing.
