Body of missing waterman recovered from lower Chesapeake

The body of a waterman who went missing in the Chesapeake Bay out of Cherrystone Inlet in Northampton County has been recovered, ABC sister station WVEC reports.

On Thursday the Coast Guard announced they were searching for a missing man after a 27-foot Carolina Skiff capsized shortly before 4 PM. A Good Samaritan was able to rescue two people who were on the boat, but a third man remained missing in the bay, officials said.

In a Facebook post, Cherrystone Aqua-Farms identified the missing man as one of their employees, Anthony "Amp" Thomas.

As of Friday afternoon, Cherrystone Aqua-Farms started a GoFundMe memorial fund for Thomas' family.
