One of the great things about this group is safety first.
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) -- Coast Guard crews are searching for a missing kayaker whose empty craft was last seen Saturday morning off southwest Florida.
Coast Guard officials were alerted by local deputies Saturday morning that 29-year-old Justin Furman had gone missing after camping at Punta Rassa with a group of friends.
He left the group Friday night to kayak and fish along the beach.
Friends said he didn't have a life jacket, cell phone or emergency equipment in the kayak.
The News-Press reports his kayak was found empty Saturday morning.

"Friends said he didn't have a life jacket, cell phone or emergency equipment in the kayak."
Another win for Charles Darwin.

"People that were camping with him but didn't really like him said he didn't have a life jacket, cell phone or emergency equipment in the kayak."
Fixed it.
