BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) - The Coast Guard says it is continuing it search for an overdue boater after finding his skiff in the waters off Bar Harbor, Maine.
The Coast Guard initiated a search Tuesday for Dr. John Myers of Freeport, who was last seen Tuesday afternoon after dropping off a sailboat in the town of Hancock and heading back to Salsbury Cove in a 12-foot aluminum skiff.
Search crews found the boat at about 3:50 a.m. Wednesday near Bald Rock Ledge in Frenchman Bay, but there was no sign of Myers.
Chief Petty Officer Randy Buckland says search efforts are continuing in the area where the skiff was found.
