BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - The U.S. Coast Guard sent out boats and helicopters early Monday to search for nine people who reported their boat was sinking about three miles off the Atlantic Coast.
The Coast Guard said it received a call late Sunday from a passenger on the 33-foot powerboat who said all five adults and four children on board had put on life jackets. The man said his wife had broken her leg and was bleeding.
The man maintained contact with a handheld radio after the boat went down, but the signal went dead after about an hour, officials said.
We know they put on their lifejackets. We know theyre approximately three miles out, but we dont have much information after that, Petty Officer Dana Warr said Monday
