Volunteers from Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga spent three hours searching for a missing male on the NSW Mid North Coast this afternoon.
Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Rodney Page said Marine Rescue NSW volunteers and vessels were tasked by NSW Police Marine Area Command earlier this afternoon (Saturday 7 December).
“Marine Rescue NSW vessels Coffs Harbour 30 and Woolgoolga 30 were deployed to assist NSW Water Police with the offshore search.
“The Marine Rescue NSW crews conducted a parallel line search from Bare Bluff, just south of Sandy Beach to Macauleys Headland,” he said.
“Conditions were challenging with a 15 to 20 knot northeasterly wind and a 1.5 to 2 metre swell.
“The Marine Rescue NSW crews were stood down for the day just after 6:15pm.
“Volunteers on board Woolgoolga 30 and Coffs Harbour 30 will resume the search tomorrow morning (Sunday 8 December) with the two Marine Rescue NSW vessels to rendezvous with NSW Water Police off Bare Bluff at 8am,” Inspector Page said.
