Fish 0 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Apparently the man was 81. Report here from Stuff says he was in the water at Hobbs Bay. There was a very big squall went through yesterday about the time this incident started. I can only guess, but it wouldn't surprise me if the squall caused a problem with the boat. The gentleman was in the water and found by the police helicopter. I saw the rescue helicopter circling in the area around Weiti / Okura a wee while after the squall. In hindsight it would have been involved in this search. https://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/111778027/boat-sinking-in-hauraki-gulf--reports Quote Link to post Share on other sites
