Search off Assateague to resume at sunrise for fishing boat, crew

A U.S. Coast Guard-led search for two men aboard a fishing boat missing off the Assateague coast was suspended Wednesday night because of poor weather conditions. The search is set to resume at sunrise Thursday, according to a Coast Guard spokesman.

One of three men aboard the 67-foot Seafarer was hoisted Wednesday morning from a life raft about 15 miles into the Atlantic Ocean from Assateague. A search launched in high winds and heavy rain for the boat and the other two men aboard. The vessel belongs to Hobo Seafood Inc. in Scanton, N.C., said David Weydert, a spokesman for the Coast Guard's 5th District in Portsmouth, Va.
