The Coast Guard said the search moved north of Brunswick toward the Carolinas. The brother of a crew member said it was his brother's first deep-sea fishing trip.
The Coast Guard is calling the search 'complicated' because of the limited information it received but is 'hopeful' in the whereabouts of the boat and crew members.BRUNSWICK, Ga. — The Coast Guard is calling the search for three crew members aboard a boat that left from Brunswick, Georgia last week and didn't return 'complicated,' but says there are many reasons to remain hopeful.
The Coast Guard says it has searched about 20,000 square nautical miles since Friday and is moving more north of Brunswick towards the Carolinas. There hasn't been any conversation about turning the search into a recovery mission, which the Coast Guard says is a good sign, but it has the crew's family members worried.
"Caleb's always been very cautious about everything he's done, and if he wasn't comfortable with Dalton and going out there, then he wouldn't have done it in the first place," Cameron Wilkinson said. "If they were there and came into some trouble, became disabled, or something happened there, the drift would eventually take them into the Gulf Stream which would continue to the northeast at a faster rate," Coast Guard Sector Charleston Lieutenant Commander Jason Erickson said.
Cameron Wilkinson says sometimes Conway pushes a fishing trip out an extra day but says it is unusual nobody has heard from any of the men and none of the equipment has emitted a distress signal.
