The Coast Guard is suspending its search for a missing fishing boat out of Westport. The Daily World reports the US Coast Guard at Station Grays Harbor received a call Sunday from a concerned family member of one of the two missing crew members aboard the fishing boat “Evening”. The men had gone out on October 12th and were scheduled to return October 15th but never did. Coast Guard crews searched 14,000 square miles but have no idea where the vessel was headed to or coming from. Authorities say if new information or a sighting is called in, they could resume the search later.
