My office, and my guys, are in charge of coordinating all of the search efforts for James, Curt, and Tressel. So far we've conducted approx 30 searches, covering about 30,000 square miles, and have not found any signs of the boat, people, or debris. We continue to search though. Yes, we got the report about the yellow rope tied off to a rig and something underwater, but neither James' wife, or friends can ever remember seeing a yellow rope on his boat, so we don't believe that is related. Also, CBP (Customs) did have an aircraft in the air today doing a normal patrol, and we asked them to keep an eye out for James' boat, but they are not part of our organized search efforts. They have their own mission to complete, but are trying to assist us by offering more eyes in the sky. They also assisted by being comms relay between us and our aircraft further offshore.Also, just to clarify, there is no "3 day search limit" set in stone for any case. Each case is different and we evaluate each case based on a variety of factors. In this case, the biggest factor is the large search area, and possibility that they could be anywhere out there. I'll PM you my number if you want to give me a call tomorrow.
