A volunteer crew on board Marine Rescue NSW vessel Lake Macquarie 30 was tasked by Marine Area Command this morning to search for a reported missing boat with two people on board.
Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Courtney Greenslade said Lake Macquarie 30 began the search at 7:50am.
“Two people went fishing on a small vessel late last night and reportedly failed to return after launching from Blacksmiths boat ramp.
“Marine Rescue NSW volunteers are searching from Swansea Heads south to Norah Head.
