The U.S. Coast Guard is asking for the public’s help in determining the whereabouts of a missing sailboat with a two-person crew that disappeared while traveling from New Jersey to Florida.
The 30-foot Catalina sailboat, known as the “Atrevida II,” never reached its intended destination in Marathon, Florida, after setting sail from Cape May, New Jersey, WTXF-TV reported.
The Coast Guard says the Atrevida II was carrying Kevin Hyde, 64, and Joe DiTommasso, 76, when it left Cape May.
The boat was last seen on Dec. 3 when it departed the Oregon Inlet in North Carolina’s Outer Banks on its way to Florida.
