OCONTO COUNTY (NBC 26) — The U.S. Coast Guard is working with local law enforcement to locate a missing sailboat with three people on board: 32-year-old man and his two children, both under the age of 10.

The Oconto County Sheriff's Office said on Friday, July 12, they were notified that a man from Little Suamico was boating with his two young children and did not make it back to his planned destination.

The sheriff's office said no one had been able to contact him since Saturday, July 13.

The sheriff's office said the man and his children were reportedly last seen on Green Island in the Bay of Green Bay.

The sheriff's office said the missing boat is an 18-foot Gulf Coast Sailboat, with a blue hull, yellow stripe, and a sun symbol on one of the sails. The vessel is nicknamed “My Lady Blue” which is displayed on its stern.

The sheriff's office said this is an ongoing investigation and no other information will be released at this time.
