A search continued Sunday afternoon for a missing man after an outrigger kayak was found floating near the mouth of Mission Bay Friday, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson said.
“The official report is it was an outrigger,” said Coast Guard spokesperson Adam Stanton. “It looked brand new, perfectly fine.”
San Diego lifeguards found the boat about 2:30 p.m. Friday with no sign of an occupant. Lifeguard officials could not be reached to provide an update on the incident Sunday.
Stanton said a lot of questions remained after two days of searching, but the search soon could turn into a recovery effort. He declined to release the name of the missing person, but said that family are on their way to the area.
This story was updated to clarify the type of boat found in Mission Bay.
