Missing Charter Boat Capitan Found Safe
Three men were on the water aboard the Cedar Roost Sail Charter heading north toward St. Augustine from Ponce Inlet Monday when the 22 foot vessel was hit by a large wave sending the Captain overboard.
The other two passengers contacted the Coast Guard around 5:00 p.m and the boat and helicopter search for the Sail Boat Captain, Brian Oliver, 45 of St. Augustine began and continued late into the night.
The boat was anchored off and remains off shore. With no knowledge of how to maneuver the vessel the other two passengers were taken to the Coast Guard Station Ponce De Leon Inlet in New Smyrna Beach.
