The head of the search for the missing boat in Lake Superior says the search will continue thru tomorrow morning – and then officials will reevaluate what is known.
Joining the search today was the 140-foot U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Biscayne Bay from St. Ignace.
Anyone who talked to the occupants of the boat, or saw them before their trip needs to call the U.S. Coast Guard – even a small piece of information may be valuable, according to Commander Carolyn Moberley, Chief of Response for the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Ste. Marie
All the USCG and Canadian Coast Guard aircraft plus a huge coast guard cutter are involved in the search – along with dozens of other boats and searchers along the shores of the eastern Keweenaw from the Keweenaw Bay to the tip of the Keweenaw and even around  – but officials say the greatest area for debris to wash ashore maybe in the bay.
The U.S. Coast Guard has a “small amount of  certainty” they got into trouble northwest of Pequaming.
“We believe the last position they may have been that we have any certainty or small amount of certainty of – is in the Keweenaw Bay  a little bit off of – and to the northwest of – Pequaming We believe that's where they may have gotten into trouble” Commander Moberley said..
Officials have been searching the shore and waters from the Huron Islands to Huron Bay to Keweenaw Bay and all the way to “the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula.”
But they stress that little is known about where the craft may have gotten into trouble – listen carefully what she has to say when we post the audio about a possible place the craft got in trouble – but that is based on very little information coming in and nothing has been recovered.
