Search for Gilligan aboard the Vessel "Puke" Continues

This is not a joke.

SUMMERLAND KEY: The Coast Guard is searching for a missing Summerland Key couple who failed to return from an afternoon out at sea. Robert and Andrea Gilligan were reported overdue, aboard their vessel "Puke", after they failed to return from a voyage Sunday afternoon.

According to their neighbor, the Gilligan's departed Summerland Key at noon and planned to sail their 18-foot vessel through the Intracoastal Waterway to Sawyer Key, Fla. The Gilligan's neighbor reported them overdue to the Coast Guard at 9 p.m Sunday night after he noticed they had not returned home. Their vessel is reportedly white, with the word "Puke" written on the side in yellow lettering.

An HH-65 "Dolphin" helicopter from Air Station Miami, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission vessel and the neighbor are currently searching the waters between Summerland Key and Sawyer Key. Anyone with information on this case please call the District Seven Command Center at (305) 415-6800.
