The Coast Guard has suspended the search. So sorry for the families.

This was posted on the boatnerd.com site this morning. So sorry for the families.
Three missing boaters found dead in Lake Superior
10/3 - Keweenaw Peninsula, Mich. – The bodies of three boaters who went missing on Lake Superior in mid-September were found in their sunken boat this weekend.
At 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1, 61-year-old Keith Karvonen and 9-year-old Ethan Chartre were located and recovered from a sunken boat on Lake Superior. Forty-three-year-old Steven Chartre was also located, and additional resources are being used to assist in efforts to recover him.
Karvonen's 14-foot boat was found using sonar by two nonprofit/volunteer search and rescue organizations, Bruce's Legacy from Black River Falls, Wis., and Crossman Consulting of Duluth, Minn.
Michigan State Police said the search began two weeks ago after the trio didn't return from a fishing trip. They left Chassel in the Upper Peninsula on Saturday, Sept. 17 and family members called police later that day.
The U.S. Coast Guard called off the search on Sept. 21. Extending from Keweenaw Bay into Lake Superior, Coast Guard searchers covered more than 14,000 square miles for a total of 151 hours
