U.S. Coast Guard officials have ended their search this morning for a missing fisherman whose boat sank off the coast of Ano Nuevo Point in San Mateo County on Saturday afternoon, Lt. j.g. Simone Mausz said.
A Coast Guard helicopter was dispatched at sunrise today to the area where two men were found in a life raft near where the vessel sank around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The search ended at about 8:45 a.m. today when Coast Guard officials weren’t able to locate the third fisherman, she said.
A snowstorm Saturday made visibility an issue for the search team, Mausz said. It was unclear if the weather posed a problem this morning.
The two survivors are being treated for hypothermia at Stanford Medical Center and are doing fine, Mausz said.
