Boater still missing in Delta County waters

ESCANABA, MI--   The search continues for a boater missing in Little Bay de Noc. 

WLUC-TV says three Illinois men were fishing from a boat in front of the Terrace Bay Inn Saturday afternoon when a wave knocked one of them overboard.  Another man jumped in to save him.  Neither was wearing a life jacket.

One of the men was rescued from the water by a passerby, but the other man couldn’t be located. 

The Delta County Sheriff’s Office, County Dive Team, Michigan State Police, and the MSP Dive Team searched for the missing man through the weekend, but had to call off the search Monday because of rough and windy conditions.  They plan to resume the search Tuesday.
