Coast Guard Searches For Boater In Jersey Waters
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) ―
Coast Guard crews are searching for a boater who failed to return home from a trip to Absecon Creek.
A family member reported Kevin Showell overdue at 11:15 p.m. Thursday.
The Coast Guard said the 25-year-old was aboard a 14-foot camouflage boat.
Weather conditions overnight were poor as a nor'easter buffeted parts of south Jersey with strong winds and heavy rain.
A rescue helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City is searching from the sky. The New Jersey State Police, members of Atlantic City Sea Tow and Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge park rangers are also searching for Showell.
