The Coast Guard is suspending the search for a Jacksonville man and a second boater in the Gulf of Mexico.
Four men were thrown out of a 21 foot boat just north of St. Petersburg Saturday.
Rescuers say the boaters encountered stormy weather.

A Coast Guard helicopter spotted the capsized boat Sunday and rescued Frank Dipaula, 78, of Keystone Heights and Tom Grant, 67.

Both survivors were reported to be disoriented and exhausted and were transported to medical facilities.

Tom Morrison, 65, of Jacksonville and Glenn Harris are still missing.
