9/3/2016 – Missing Boater

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR resumed the search for the missing boater. Both Marine 10 and 20 were again launched and checked areas south of Pelican dock all the way to the south end of the lake. RAVEN spotted the boat drifting about 2.5 miles off Pelican Point. Marine 10 and 20 came on scene and determined that no one was on board. The boat was towed back to Pelican Dock. At about the time the boats arrived at the dock, the subject’s dog was located at the Willows, showing that the subject and boat most likely had made it to that location, but the boat blew away when the wind came up in the evening. The search then switched to a possible body recovery in the shallow area of that part of the lake.
