Coast Guard suspends search for

missingCoast Guard boater

Ocala

On Thurs., Aug. 18, the U.S.

suspended the search for an Ocala boater who failed

to return on Sun. night, as expected, to Horseshoe

Beach in Dixie County. Mitchell Szegi, 47, de-

parted in a 22-foot fishing boat at noon on Sunday.

Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg

received the overdue report at 3:25 am, Mon., and

started the search at about 3:45 pm.

A crew member aboard an HC-130 Hercu-

les airplane from Air Station Clearwater spotted a

boat at 8:52 am Tues. that was later confirmed to be

Mr. Szegi's, approximately 40 miles south of Car-

rabelle in the Florida panhandle. (The nautical dis-

tance from Horseshoe Beach to Carrabelle is 87.54

The Newscaster

The

miles.) The boat was clutched in gear, but disabled

5093 S. Orwell Pt., Homosassa, Florida 34446

and adrift, with no one aboard.
