HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) marine unit located and rescued two men and a dog after their sailboat was found adrift north of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

On Sept. 16, deputies said they were alerted two men and a dog had gone missing aboard a 25-foot sailboat. Following tide and wind patterns, the marine unit searched near Apollo Beach and eventually found the boat floating in the shipping channel just north of the Skyway Bridge.
