SEATTLE — The Coast Guard has suspended the search for a 54-year-old man whose empty boat was found adrift near Bainbridge Island.
The search began around 6:30 p.m. Monday after a Coast Guard vessel found multiple indications the 15-foot boat was being used, including a fishing pole and an open tackle box. His wife confirmed that the man’s truck and trailer were still at the Port Orchard Marina boat ramp.
Coast Guard crews suspended the search Tuesday afternoon, saying the decision was made with care and deliberation.
Coast Guard officials say the man was not wearing a life jacket.
