Family Continues Search For Missing Atlantis Boater
TLANTIS, Fla. -- The U.S. Coast Guard has called off its search for Jim Trindale, but the missing Atlantis boater's family and friends say they're not giving up hope.
Trindale went missing on his way home Thursday from Spanish Cay in the Bahamas. The Coast Guard found his 38-foot Donzi idling with no one aboard in the waters off St. Lucie County on Friday.
Friends and family said they'll continue circling the Bahamas and the Florida coast with private planes and boats.
Trindale's wife said he's a strong swimmer and diver who knows how to survive in treacherous waters.
Trindale had been returning to Florida with friends following him in two other boats. After all three boats stopped in Grand Cay for refueling, Trindale's boat got ahead of the other two. Friends said he radioed that he would wait for them to catch up, but that was his last clear communication.
The Coast Guard discontinued their search for Trindale on Saturday.
