The body 50 year old Kenneth Vickers has been picked up from the Wicomico River.

He had been out in his boat when it struck a dredge pontoon and was thrown out of the vessel.

His wife, Flora, was also on the boat and suffered non-serious injuries.

She was taken to the hospital.

The U.S. Coast Guard had been searching for Vickers since Saturday along with help from Wicomico County Salisbury and state agencies.

Officials told WBOC that this is the 12 boating death of the year matching 2014.

Cove Point

LUSBY, Md. (AP) - Authorities have recovered the body of a swimmer who went missing near Cove Point Light Station in Lusby.

The Calvert County Sheriff's Office says the body of 37-year-old Daniel Brown was found on Saturday. The body of his brother, 39-year-old Douglas Brown, has not been recovered.

Authorities say the brothers were swimming off Cove Point on Friday evening when they became tired from swimming against the tide. A boy who was with the brothers was able to make it back to shore and alerted relatives and authorities.
