Rescuers have been searching for Pierre Agnes, 54, the chief executive of Quiksilver surfwear and sporting company, who got lost at sea off France on Tuesday morning, Jan. 30. His boat has been found washed ashore.

Agnes intended to do some solo fishing in Capbreton near his home in Southwest France. He left the harbor around 7:30 a.m. He then messaged port authorities saying he’d delay his return due to thick fog, The Guardian and The Daily Mail reported.
