Coast Guard searches for missing Florida man

The US Coast Guard is searching for a fisherman who fell overboard off the coast of St. Augustine.

The Coast Guard says 55-year-old Peter Steewell, of Pompano Beach, was swordfishing on a commercial vessel about 400 miles east of St. Augustine Thursday.  He was apparently not wearing a life jacket when he fell overboard.

Two aircrews searched through the night.  A Coast Guard Cutter will be joining the search Saturday.  A commercial vessel is also involved in the search.
