North Side man missing at sea for a week
Thomas Bush
(CNS): Thomas Owen Robert Bush (30) of North Side has been reported missing, having gone out to sea in a 28ft canoe a week ago, on Wednesday 25 October, with an unidentified second man. He was reported missing yesterday evening but there are few details about where he was going or who he was with. Bush was last seen in the Windsor Park area wearing jean shorts and t-shirt.
The Port Authority of the Cayman Islands has been notified of the report and has issued a notification for all boat captains to be on the lookout for the vessel and missing boaters. The police are currently trying to determine a possible location of the vessel in which Bush departed in order to deploy further search and rescue efforts.

From the minute I read the word canoe I stopped reading as the world knows where and what they were up too..And truth be known I don’t have one ounce of sympathy for none of them..
28ft conoe hmmm………… doesn’t sound fishy at all….
It would be better if when reporting, it said ” North Side Resident”. When you say North Side Man it makes it seem like he is from the district. These kinds of distinctions are important to locals. Just my two cents.
If that’s all you worry about, you are lucky. How about trying not to label people? It creates divides, is pointless and achieves nothing. Or you could go clean trash off a beach, something worthwhile, you know?
hope they are found safe , but anon at 4:58 hit the nail on the head, no safety equipment and heading to black river or somewhere on the lower south coast of Jamaica usually, no satellite phone, no other kind of position indicating device one engine no spare XXXXX
why would he be heading to black river negril way closer lol jokers think you know it all
As no one knows where to search for the missing man . But someone can say that he is missing and what kind of boat he left on . But can’t give the Police anymore details on where to search for him . That’s the kind of friends you need in life and death situation. I guess that’s why they say that crime don’t pay .
He was found today by the captain of “Provider” , a Honduras fisherman (Wendel Powel). He was found on the banks. The fisherman is taking him and the other passenger to shore (Banaca A.K.A The Bay Island ) .
I have already contacted the Cayman Islands Police department.
A person is reported missing but they did not know where he had gone or with whom????? I think more must be known by the reportee.
Hope he turns up safe.
These guys need to stop attempting to make the run to Black River in these small boats with no safety gear! It ain’t worth it!
No doubt if he’s found he will have been on a fishing trip to 60 mile bank and broke down on the way… and for sure, he’ll be a born again Christian.
You are as ignorant as a BAT!!!
Where did he go then if you know so much!? This guy’s life is on the line and you are withholding information… Disgusting!
He went to look for fortune and didn’t tell anyone. Stop going on these clandestine trips and someone later on crying foul when they don’t return by a certain time.
Instead we should focus our concerns on those who must risk theirs to look for him in the high seas.
