According to the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff, Marine Services, they helped locate a missing jet skier on Brown island near Pittsburg on Saturday.
The sheriff office stated on Facebook that the jet skier had been overdue for some time and that because of 5-6 foot swells, 40 mile per hour wind gusts and shallow waters, it was difficult for any vessel to get to the boater.
Fortunately, a work boat from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was nearby and was able to get to the boater. The boater and his vessel were taken back to shore. Other than being cold, he did not need any medical attention.
