The Charleys Crab left on Thursday from Berrys Islands, 20 miles northwest of Nassau, Coast Guard spokesman Roger Wetherell said. The Coast Guard on Tuesday contacted marinas and Bahamian search-and-rescue officials, and issued a marine alert seeking information about the boat, Wetherell said. Before beginning an air-and-sea search, the Coast Guard was trying to get a better fix on the last known location of the boat, officials said.

In 1992, with a total of 22 restaurants, Muer employed 2,000 people, about 40 percent of them in Michigan. He told Corporate Detroit Magazine the company had 60 million in revenue in 1991, with a 30 percent increase in profits from the previous year. Charleys Crab in Palm Beach grossed 5 million a year, he said. Hes very prominent and successful in South Florida, said Brad Stapleton, maitre d at Renatos restaurant in Palm Beach.
