The United States Coast Guard wants your assistance in helping them locate a missing boater in the Bay of the Green Bay. Coast Guardsmen from Station Sturgeon Bay are searching the bay and the surrounding area after it reportedly went missing around 5 p.m. on Saturday. According to social media posts shared by Door County Scanner 2.0, Bill Salnik was sailing on his blue sailboat named “My Lady Blue” with his family from Little Suamico to Riley’s Bay in Door County to spend the day before heading back Sunday afternoon. The U.S. Coast Guard has since deployed boats, helicopters, and HC-130 to help conduct its search, telling locals that they should expect heaving air traffic throughout the night and early morning until the boats and occupants are found.
