As darkness fell, the Coast Guard continued to search for the two-man crew of the "Good Guys", which disappeared Tuesday afternoon at about 1:30 on its way to Pillar Point Harbor .

UPDATE: After 24 hour of search a 500 square mile area, the Coast Guard has called off its search, reports Julia Scott for MediaNews.

"Based on the water and air temperatures and sea conditions, predicted survivability for the two fisherman was less than eight hours," reported Coast Guard Lt. Anya Hunter at noon today. The water temperature was 53 degrees Fahrenheit and there were 18-foot waves pounding the boat at the time of the accident, Hunter said.
