The search for a Trail man missing and presumed drowned on the Columbia River has been called off.
RCMP say Jeffrey Bauder, 28, was one of three men on a Sea-Doo that capsized when it hit a wave around 6 p.m. Tuesday between Sunningdale and Gyro Park. None of the men were wearing life jackets.
Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue pulled one man from the water with their rescue boat while Teck Trail Operations fire crews rescued another who swam to shore on their property.
South Columbia and Castlegar search and rescue looked for Bauder until 10 p.m. when the search was called off due to darkness.
South Columbia president Mike Hudson says they were back at it today, but without luck.
Hudson says between yesterday and today, about 50 people scoured the area from Rivervale to the border.
