SLAUGHTER BEACH, Del. (AP) - The U.S. Coast Guard says a missing father and son were found on their disabled boat in the Delaware Bay after a seven-hour search.
The Coast Guard said in a news release Monday that they went boating near Cedar Creek Boat Ramp on Sunday afternoon, but the Coast Guard received a report from a 911 dispatcher Sunday night that they were overdue.
The Coast Guard and other agencies searched for more than seven hours before they were found on a disabled 20-foot recreational boat around 4 a.m. Monday. Petty Officer 3rd Class David Micallef says the man and his 17-year-old son were found five miles from the dock in the bay.
No injuries were reported.
