MIAMI (WSVN) - A missing boater has been found, Friday, in the Bahamas by Coast Guard officials.

The U.S. Coast Guard was searching for 53-year-old Venice Graham, who was en route to South Bimini in the Bahamas around 8 p.m., Wednesday, in a white, 25-foot Hydra-Sport, according to officials.

Officials said Graham was experiencing minor engine trouble, but is now “safe and sound.”

He was expected to arrive in the Bahamas by midnight, but when he did not show up, his friend contacted Coast Guard District 7, around 9 a.m., Thursday.

A crew searched for Graham by air and asked boaters in the area to be on lookout and to provide assistance if need be.
