A search for a missing experienced skipper, Tony Andeliero, is set to resume on Sunday.
Tony Andeliero, 60, a father, grandfather and experienced skipper remains lost at sea. His family are holding out hope with the search set to resume on Sunday. Andeliero set off from the Port Kembla boat ramp yesterday morning. Almost 12 hours later, his tinnie was found empty, 500 metres off Windang Island, triggering a multi-agency search.NSW Police Inspector Will Collins said there were no issues with the vessel itself, which has been seized by police. His car remains parked at Port Kembla.
A joint search party made up of NSW Police, Marine Rescue NSW, Surf Life Saving NSW and PolAir have begun looking for the owner of the boat. The search yesterday continued until the early hours of the morning before it resumed again at 6am today. It was then called off this afternoon due to choppy conditions. 'There were lifejackets located in the vessel, so there was safety equipment there, but we can't actually say if he was wearing a lifejacket.' The challenge is the vast size of the search area, crews are looking everywhere from Lake Illawarra to the shore and even further out to sea
