Coast Guard Calls Off Search for Warsaw Man

The Coast Guard has suspended the search for a Warsaw man, who was aboard a fishing boat that sank off the coast of Florida last week. The Coast Guard says 48-year-old Jay Eckert was aboard the 22-foot boat when it went down in the Atlantic near Sebastian Florida Thursday night. Eckert’s 51-year-old brother, Michael, made it to shore Friday morning. He told officials he last saw his brothers clinging to a cooler. The Coast Guard called off the search Saturday afternoon, after covering more than 53-hundred miles. More information is available on the Coast Guard's web site.
