Apparently there's a spare trailer in the carpark and a search going on? Anyone know anything else?

Heard it briefly on 4BC radio this morning in their news.
said it was reported not back last night. Boats searched till midnight last night then started again this morning.

Being a cat maybe the skipper just decided to go a bit further and fish that big ledge on the eastern side of New Zealand ( Cat owners will know the one i mean)
On a slightly more serious note i hope everyone is ok and there has just been a mix up in return time
Alcohol doesn't agree with me, but i sure do enjoy the argument!!!
Just heard on the News that 2 men have been winched to safety from there up turned boat off brunswick heads and are ok!
Let it begin, but can we wait for some facts first!

Bloody cats.
Just cant seem to stay the right way up.
Yep probably a dominator with e-tec's on the back
Seriously though, no detail yet, did it hit some thing (Whale , Container) Did it split? It will be interesting.

I guess in a cat you may as well go that bit further...........while your still the right way up
I can’t make sence of this story.
They left in the dark with no safety gear or nav lights. Where were they going?
If this proves to be as stupid as it seems they should be sent the full bill.
“TWO men lost at sea off the NSW far north coast have been found by a rescue helicopter clinging to their upturned sailing boat.
The men were located three nautical miles off Brunswick Heads after an sea and air search was launched last night.
The men, one aged 26 and the other not known, left from Cudgen Creek near Kingscliff about 6.30pm (AEST) last night in a four-metre sailing boat.
Their families raised the alarm about 9.30pm when the pair failed to return home when expected.
Two police small planes, four helicopters and four boats took part in the search for the missing boat which was understood to have no life jackets or working navigational lights.
The men were located by local rescue helicopter about 7.30am this morning and a volunteer vessel has been dispatched to rescue the men.
The crew of the rescue helicopter assessed the situation and decided to winch the men to safety.
They are being transported to Tweed Hospital for assessment but their current medical condition is unknown.
Police are now deciding if the upturned boat can be recovered from the seas.”
I wonder if the port sail lost power after the Starboard hull dipped into a hole
I'm glad they are all right but no pitty if theyre billed with the lot.
Cheers Chris
Democracy: Simply a system that allows the 51% to steal from the other 49%.
They should be billed for the lot, and then fined for breaching maritime laws, anyone with enough stupidity to go out at night with no safety gear or nav lights shouldn't be allowed out of the house let alone be given a boat licence and left to their own devices
G'day
Absolutly stupid.
A 4m sailing cat, sounds like a caper cat or small hobie?
Dave
Just saw them on the TV they are talking of going out again.
IF this story is true, you now know why you get checked so often.
IF this story is true, they should have the book thrown at them.
If this story is true, ???????????????????????????????????????????
