Searching the waters between Matthewtown in the Bahamas and the Turks since Monday, the U.S. Coast Guard says there has been no sign of two missing boaters and their craft, which appears to be based in Palm Beach County.
72-year old Sven Gunnar Karlsson and 51-year old Marty Sue Widrick left the Bahamas for the Turks and Caicos on December 16 but have not been heard from since.
A Coast Guard plan has been scouring the area looking for the 50-foot sailboat named "Get Nauti."
The back of the boat reads "Palm Beach," which likely references the hailing port.
