Man overboard on Lake Michigan

At 0230 eastern time, the 1000' freighter Stewart J. Cort lost a man overboard approximately 2.5 miles east of Big Sable Point. Several other commercial vessels and coast guard assets are moving to intercept. The man was in jeans, with no PFD.

If anyone is in the area today, keep a lookout please. Contact USCG Sector Lake Michigan if you see anything.

Some properly hellish stuff. I can't imagine being in the water watching my boat steam away without me.
