Kudos to the marina staff member; "He was reported missing Saturday by a member at the marina who said Bee typically doesn't stay out overnight on his boat, the Coast Guard said."
"....Bee hadn’t been seen since he took his boat into the ocean near Port Canaveral in Brevard County about 4 p.m. Friday. He was reported missing Saturday."
Lets see, left the dock pretty late in the day, was by himself it appears, never filed a float plan or told anyone where and for how long he was going to be out. 32' boat that capsized takes some serious wave action I would think or stupidity. With his luck he needs to visit Vegas.
It's a shame the guy didn't tell someone his plans or leave a float plan....might have shortened the time clinging to the boat....but glad it did work out.
Can't tell you the amount of time spent by the USCG on following up reports of a boat and owner missing only to find out the boat was at another marina for service, hauled out by trailer for an out of town trip, etc......so leaving word can help both ends of rescue work.
I often kidded people that a good operations center needs a good detective no matter their real background.
