Spent all of Saturday at sea in very difficult conditions, searching for this person.
If you are beach fishing or boating in far east Gippsland keep an eye out for anything including items washed up on the beach.
Last known position was Cape Conran area.

There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Let's hope that there is a happy ending to this story and they find the bloke safe and well , , , , and on his last beer.

Great effort and good luck to all the people conducting the search.

🙏

Regards, Bill

Vessel has been located off Gabo island. That is all the detail available at this stage. No doubt police will issue a statement later.

Further update, no one was on-board. various news broadcaster are running the story.
