A 68 year old man’s been found floating 2.5km off the coast at Indented Head, and 1.5km away from his empty tinnie
The vessel was located around 9:30am Monday doing circles in the water.
Inspector James Dalton said the man’s lifejacket was the difference between life and death
“Without a doubt he is alive due to the fact he was wearing a life jacket, those people who noticed something was wrong called the police and provided that large-scale response.”
“To locate him so far away from his tinnie and so far off shore is like finding a needle in a haystack.”
“It was brilliant work by our members who really demonstrated their expertise on the water today.”
“We understand this man had been in the water for about six hours.”
