Rescue teams located three people Wednesday afternoon, who had last been seen boating off the Taylor County coast over the weekend, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported.
Continue to 2nd paragraph
The overdue boaters were identified as William J. Wetherington, 43, his girlfriend, Kelley Trezeck, 41, and the man's mother, Vannie Wetherington, 69. The three left from a Keaton Beach vacation-home dock in a pleasure craft late Sunday afternoon. They had planned to go trout fishing and were supposed to return that evening. On Tuesday evening, however, officials received reports that the three had not been heard from.
By 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, FWC spokeswoman Karen Parker said the three had been located, along with a bulldog that was taken on the boating trip. One person was requiring medical attention. Additional details about the rescue were not immediately available.
Search teams first learned about the missing trio late Tuesday.
“Apparently the woman was due back to work and did not show,â€

Two things should be learned from this.
1: ALWAYS have someone know where you went and when you should be back in. It took till tuesday to get a search started because her workplace missed her.
2: A simple VHF radio would have raised Keaton Beach marina and they could have got help on the way....
Those folks are lucky because the conditions they were out in Sunday night coud have easily capsized them....there were over 20 knot winds....out of the Northeast which would have blown them out further to sea.

#2: I own (and occasionally fish from) a Sunbird. Quality? I've had no problems. Can you say the same?
Now: Back to your regularly scheduled Ga Boy bashing. I'm glad they are safe as well.
