However, weather conditions during the search were 25-knot winds and 10-foot seas with severe overhead storms. Tropical Storm Debby’s outer bands were affecting the area by the late afternoon. Grover was reported missing Friday at approximately 10 p.m. He was wearing khaki shorts and no personal flotation device. “It is never an easy decision to suspend an active search and rescue case,” said Cmdr. Fredrick Pugh, search and rescue mission coordinator at Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg. “We offer our sincere condolences to Mr. Grover’s family and friends.” Anyone with new information, can please call Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg at, 866-881-1392.  WINK News reached out for more information and will keep you updated.
