Coast Guard officials suspended a search Sunday for a man who jumped off a boat into the water near the Antioch Bridge to retrieve a lost hat.

The man, identified by the Coast Guard only as in his mid-50s, jumped off a 20-foot recreational boat Saturday evening after his hat flew off. The boat’s operator circled back to pick up the man but could not find him, said Coast Guard spokeswoman Loumania Stewart. He was reported missing at 6:40 p.m.

Crews looked for the man into the night, then resumed a search by air and water Sunday morning.
