Missing fishing boat found underwater off the coast of Cape Cod
It's a tragic ending to a search that had been ongoing this week, the sunken white hulled Seahorse was spotted about two miles off Brewster beaches by a recreational boater just before 2:00 Wednesday afternoon. Shawn Arsenault, 64, left his slip at Rock Harbor marina in Orleans Sunday morning to go clamming with his girlfriend. "He's been a fisherman all his life. He's ran many boats from New Bedford to Provincetown," said his brother Paul Arsenault. "He told me he wasn't coming back until he got his 30-bag limit." That usually takes only a day, but when his white Ford pickup truck was still in the marina parking lot two days later it raised concerns, including reports of unusual behavior the day he left the harbor. "The fact that he didn't come in with the tide that evening wasn't necessarily alarming. The curious part was that the day he left the harbor he was discarding waste off the side of the boat," said Orleans Harbormaster Nathan Sears. Discarded radar dome, GPS That waste included a radar dome, and a GPS found on a nearby beach. The harbormaster says his boat had recently been running rough, but repairs seemed to put him back in business. Now an investigation into how the thirty-foot fishing vessel Seahorse went down will answer many questions. Photo of the missing 30 foot fishing boat Seahorse. U.S. Coast Guard "These are quahog draggers, they're dragging big steel cages behind the boats. If they get hung up on the bottom, especially if you're fishing in the dark, they can roll the side of the boat and go down pretty fast," said Sears. The empty slip at the marina has been an eerie sight this week, and neighbors at his Orleans housing complex say they've been shaken by the news. "The community has been reaching out, giving hugs and saying prayers. We all just miss him so terribly," said Melissa Phillips. Arsenault's brother says his concern has grown by the minute and had this worry all along. "I'm beginning to think I'll never see my brother again," he said.

Fisherman and girlfriend vanish without a trace after he hurled equipment off boat then sailed onto Cape Cod
A frantic manhunt is entering its fourth day after a Massachusetts fisherman was reportedly seen throwing equipment overboard before he and his girlfriend vanished without a trace. Shawn Arsenault, 64, and his partner Felicia Daley, 54, set off from Rock Harbor in Orleans, about 100 miles east of Newport, on Saturday. Locals reported to the Coast Guard that Arsenault was seen tossing electronic equipment into the water before leaving the Harbor. The couple had planned to go clamming near the Target Ship Wreck in Cape Cod Bay aboard their 30-foot white fishing boat, which features a painted mermaid on the bow and its name 'Seahorse' scrawled across the stern. But they never returned. The first sign something was wrong when locals reported to the Sunday morning when local resident Sam Miller and her father spotted a critical clue while walking along the beach. 'I noticed in the surf there was something floating, so I went down to see what it was, and it turned out to be a GPS unit off of a boat,' she told CBS Boston. 'We could tell it was a GPS unit off a boat... it had blue tape on it that said 'F/V Seahorse.' The Millers tried to return the device by leaving a note on Arsenault's nearby pickup truck in Rock Harbor. But when they returned Monday and saw the truck still unmoved, they alerted the harbormaster - who quickly contacted the Coast Guard. The frantic manhunt for a missing Massachusetts couple is entering its fourth day as the Coast Guard is investigating Officials say weather likely wasn't a factor in the disappearance, although search efforts have been hampered by fog and thunderstorms. 'We activated the Cape Cod Mutual Response System,' Coast Guard Commander Cliff Graham told CBS, noting visibility had been poor. 'Up today we are under a small craft advisory. Our search efforts are a little diminished because of the weather.' Authorities said a cellphone believed to be on board last pinged roughly two miles offshore from Chatham. Coast Guard Lt. Quinn LeCain confirmed reports that Arsenault was seen tossing items overboard shortly after departing. 'We received reports that he was seen throwing electronic equipment overboard,' LeCain said in an email to CBS. 'We can't confirm what exactly was thrown... there was a Facebook comment saying that it was his old GPS.' Now, as search crews scour the waters of Cape Cod Bay, Arsenault's family is fearing the worst. 'I really don't know what to think or feel right now,' his brother told WCVB. 'The boat was just checked out by his mechanic, he said everything was A-OK. 'He just got a new radar, a fish finder, and he was all excited about that. 'He got it all hooked up. He said he was going not coming home until he has his 30 bags.' He added a heartbreaking message to his brother: 'You're in my prayers, brother. I hope God takes care of you.' Anyone with information about the Seahorse or its occupants is urged to contact the Sector Southeastern New England command center at 866-819-9128.

Mystery after fishing captain and his girlfriend go missing while taking their boat out off Cape Cod
An extensive search is underway after a fishing boat went missing off the coast of Cape Cod – and the ship's GPS was discovered abandoned on the beach. The Coast Guard has been searching for the F/V Seahorse, a white 30-foot fishing boat with a mermaid on the bow and 'Seahorse' painted on the stern, since Sunday, WCVB reported. The boat and its captain, Shawn Arsenault, were fishing near Eastham's Target Ship Wreck in Cape Cod Bay; however, a cellphone tracking placed the boat 2 miles offshore of Chatham, Massachusetts, about 15 miles away and along the coast. Arsenault, 64, and his girlfriend had set sail out of Orleans, about halfway between Eastham and Chatham, with plans to go clamming. Officials received reports that Arsenault was throwing items overboard just after leaving Orleans. 'It was reported he was throwing something overboard,' Coard Guard Commander Cliff Graham said. 'I can't confirm what kind of equipment or what it was specifically.' Arsenault's brother told the outlet his boat was just checked out by a mechanic ahead of the trip, and everything seemed up to par. 'The boat was just checked out by his mechanic, he said everything was A-OK. he just got a new radar, a fish finder, and he was all excited about that. He got it all hooked up. He said he was not coming home until he has his 30 bags,' the brother said. On Sunday morning, Sam Miller and her dad were walking on the beach and found a GPS navigator saying 'F/V Seahorse,' and left it along with a note on Arsenault's truck. It's unclear how they tied the boat to his specific truck. 'I noticed in the surf there was something floating, so I went down to see what it was, and it turned out to be a GPS unit off of a boat,' Miller said. The next day, they discovered the note and truck remained untouched and called the harbormaster, who then alerted the Coast Guard. As the investigation enters its fourth day, Arsenault's brother said, 'You're in my prayers, brother. I hope God takes care of you.' The Coast Guard is urging members of the public with any information to call the Sector Southeastern New England command center at (866) 819-9128.
