i've been keeping up with this story. I pray they find the men and they are still alive, but the more time that passes the less likely that is to happen.

I've been following this also. Hope they are found still alive.

They have found a life jacket and a cooler 16 miles from where the boat was found capsized.

The search for the 3 other men will be called off this evening around 6:30 p.m.

I pray that the men are alright and found.

This has been a very sad story. Not to be the downer, but it was felt immediately that the lives of the other three were lost when they were not at the boat site. With the winds and the wake, it was just not feasible to have survived. God bless the families.
