REDINGTON BEACH — Authorities are searching for the owner of an empty yacht that mysteriously washed ashore Wednesday.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office got a call about noon that the boat, a 48-foot Sea Ray called Makin Waves, had run aground near Gulf Boulevard and 158th Avenue.
The boat was running, but no one was aboard.
The U.S. Coast Guard has joined the effort and is searching for a possible missing person.
Officials have not been able to find the owner of the boat, which was recently sold.
