Elizabeth City, Va. (WAVY) — The Coast Guard is currently searching for a man who was aboard a sailing vessel that departed from Virginia and was headed to North Carolina.
In a post on the U.S. Coast Guard Mid-Atlantic’s Facebook page, the Coast Guard said they are currently searching for 58-year-old Mark Carroll aboard an overdue 42-foot sailing vessel with a blue haul called “Ceol Mor.”
Carroll departed from the Norfolk/Hampton area of VA on Thursday evening with the intent to travel south to NC. The Coast Guard said the last communication with the vessel was on Friday evening.
A C130 crew from Air Station Elizabeth City conducted a trackline search of the area but halted it due to crew fatigue.
On Monday morning, the Coast Guard units start air searches.
Anyone with any information can contact the Sector North Carolina Command Center at 833-732-8628.
