I went down to Breakwater in Monterey this weekend and there was a storm blowing through which made the water rough and choppy. Sat. night fire trucks started showing up, then an ambulance, police cars, and assorted other vehicles. Then they launched the coast guard boat.
They said a sailboat (with a motor) had been found going in circles in the bay. It had a backpack in it I guess? But no owner of the backpack. It was getting dark and they sent out a guy on a jet ski searching. Later a helecopter went out and the search went on until midnight. I was staying in a travel trailer there so I was there until the last dog died, so to speak. It gave me nightmares, I dreamed it was a diver they pulled out of the water, dead.
They quit searching for him, the water was sooo cold that I can't possibly imagine being out without a wetsuit, let alone for hours. I said several prayers for him and will probably say more.
