NJ sailboat missing en route to Florida: Coast Guard
Authorities are searching for two men who are setting sail from New Jersey in a 30-foot vessel that is “overdue” for its arrival in Florida, the U.S. Coast Guard said Monday.
Kevin Hyde, 64, and Joe DiTommasso, 76, departed from Cape May in the Catalina sailboat dubbed “Atrevida II” and were last seen Dec. 3 as the ship departed Oregon Inlet in North Carolina, according to Coast Guard.
Coast Guard officials suspect the boat may have stopped in Morehead City, North Carolina, but emphasized that this has not been confirmed.
The final destination for the New Jersey registered boat was to be Marathon, Florida.
The boat has a bluish-purple hull with a white superstructure and white sails, the Coast Guard said.
The boat was last seen in North Carolina on December 3rd.
Two men were on the boat when it departed from Cape May, New Jersey.
The Coast Guard is seeking public help.
“(We) are seeking your help in locating an overdue 30-foot Catalina sailboat,” the Coast Guard said in a social media post.
