The United Cajun Navy continues its search for the missing crew members of the Seacor Power today, and Louisiana has turned out to help.
More than 1,000 volunteers are working on boats, on ATVs and on foot to try to find any trace of the men who are still missing from the lift boat that capsized on April 13, a spokesman said.
A branch of the group, United Cajun Navy ATV Search and Rescue, is organizing ATV owners who can search the shores. A group is in Holly Beach now, combing the beach for any signs. Yesterday, they found some debris.
The ATV group came together during the search for Kori Monet Gauthier, the LSU student who was laid to rest yesterday. It has now been formally named and organized, and serves to honor her memory.
"Together, we ride in unity because, “We’re all the same color covered in mud," a post on the UCN Facebook page states.
Another group left Chauvin Harbor early this morning in boats, searching the waters.
And, some are still in the air, searching the gulf for any signs.
"AMAZING show of support in the search for the 7 remaining missing Seacor Crewmen," a post on the UCN page states. "ATV's, Sea Planes, helicopters, boats, air boats, drones, shrimp boats, bay boats, marsh buggies and more are all coming TOGETHER today to help find the missing crewmen. We even have volunteers searching along the Texas Coast."
If you'd like to help, you can find updates on the groups on their Facebook pages. Here's the United Cajun Navy page and here is the United Cajun Navy ATV Search and Rescue Group page.
