NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard is searching for an overdue vessel Monday morning (Feb. 8) near Lake Felicity in south Louisiana. Missing is Percy Dardar III, a 37-year-old male from Pointe-aux-Chenes. He was last seen wearing a hoodie, jeans and white shrimping boots. Coast Guard Sector New Orleans received a report around 5:30 a.m. from the Terrebonne Sheriff's Department that Dardar had left a local boat ramp around 3 p.m. Sunday to look for oysters, and then did not return. The vessel is described as a 24-foot white Carolina skiff. Anyone with information regarding this case is requested to contact the Sector New Orleans command center at 504-365-2200. (Coast Guard 02/08/21) UPDATE: A Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin Helicopter aircrew located Dardar near Calm Lake and dropped a radio to him. His vessel had reportedly experienced an engine failure, leaving him stranded overnight in shallow water. A Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries boat crew was then able to reach Dardar to further assist, and reported no medical concerns.
