NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.EDITOR’S NOTE: The missing boater’s name has not been officially released. It is our policy at WMBF News to not publish names unless that information comes directly from an official or the family.

A Grand Strand rescue crew says it is suspending daily searches for a boater who’s been missing for over a week.

“Our crews are exhausted and need to return to their families and jobs. We remain on alert for real-world rescues and any assistance requests that we may receive from Horry County Fire Rescue or SCDNR,” the North Myrtle Beach Rescue Squad said in a Facebook post.

The nonprofit group has been one of many out searching alongside state and local agencies for the 23-year-old boater, as Sunday marks 10 days since he was last seen.
