Oconee River Drowning

WTOC, Savannah, Georgia, news, weather and sports | Family and friends search for Coffee County man

They still have not recovered his body. Montgomery County has requested assistance from my agency. I may be headed up there in the morning with side scan sonar to see what we can do. From the reports up there, the river is moving fast, so diving will probably be out of the question unless we see something on the side scan.

Hate to hear news like this . Our prayers will be with the family. lets all take a few extra Min's when we are on the water to play it safe. There may not be a second chance.

Did not find the body yesterday. Headed back up there shortly to spend the day searching.

You be careful too Jim. Prayers sent for the family and those searching.

Did not make it up there today. As we were enroute the boat trailer blew a tire. Our policy forbids us from changing our own tires, so we had to call a tire company out. By the time they got there and replaced the tire a lot of time was wasted so we had to call off the trip.

My prayers go out to his family. I understand he was on a jet ski in the river Sat.,I 'd a thought it too cool for doing that last Sat..Be safe Jim in the search and hope the recovery ends soon.

The family that was on scene when I was up there was very appreciative of everyones efforts. They were as prepared as they could be for the inevitable.
