Coast Guard Officials are still on the lookout for that runaway boat NewsChannel 7 told you about Friday night.

And we have a good news on the man's health condition who was driving the boat.

It happened a little before 6p.m. near the west end of the beaches.

Bay County Sheriff's Deputies say 41-year-old Michael Joseph Bursten swam ashore near the Laguna Beach Christian retreat on Highway 98.

He told authorities he'd been Cobia fishing alone, about 200-yards off shore.

Bursten was standing in the tower, when the rough surf knocked him overboard.

The boat, with a full tank of gas, just kept on going, heading west in the Gulf.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers and the Coast Guard are still searching for the boat.

As for Bursten he is being treated for salt water ingestion and according to hospital officials is in stable condition.
