The U.S. Coast Guard found an empty kayak near Del Mar and searched a 13 nautical mile area for its possible occupants, authorities said today.
Crew members aboard a U.S. Navy vessel conducting offshore operations spotted and recovered the kayak Thursday, Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Robert Lanier said.
The Navy reported the finding to the Coast Guard office in San Diego, where authorities sent an HH-60 Jayhawk helicopter out to investigate, Lanier said.
The Coast Guard then issued an urgent marine information broadcast for any boaters in the vicinity 13 miles west of the Del Mar boat basin to be on the lookout for possible missing kayakers, Lanier said.
The Coast Guard suspended its search Thursday night and is expected to continue Friday, Lanier said.
Anyone with information concerning missing kayakers from the San Clemente, Camp Pendleton or Oceanside areas was urged to call the Coast Guard's search and rescue line in San Diego at (619) 295-3122 or (800) 854-9834.
