The search team is faced with a series of challenges, including rough waters and limited visibility, but they work tirelessly to scan the area and locate the missing crew member.

Meanwhile, another team of Coast Guard members heads to a nearby town to conduct an investigation into an abandoned boat. The boat, which has been left anchored in the harbor for several days, raises suspicion among local residents and the Coast Guard is called in to investigate.

As the search for the missing crew member continues, tension mounts on the Hickory as the crew races against time to find him before it's too late. The rescue boat and search team work in tandem, scouring the area until they finally spot the missing crew member clinging to a buoy in the distance.
