CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a possible distressed boater in the Caloosahatchee River.
The coast guard tells Fox 4 that a man issued a mayday call early Friday morning in the Caloosahatchee River, near Redfish Cove. That is just to the west of the Cape Coral Yacht Club.
The coast guard is asking boaters in the area to be on the lookout for a distressed boat, but no boat or boater description was given.
We will stay in close contact with the coast guard and get you updates as they happen.
