A friend of a South Australian skipper who was lost with him at sea for days is praying for a miracle that he is once again found after vanishing a second time while on his boat. 9News
The two men were found floating somewhere around Salt Creek, which is to the south-east of Goolwa where they were initially heading to, before experiencing engine trouble.
Inspector Gus Sickerdick today said debris, including jerry cans, fragments of the boat and a lifebuoy, confirmed as being from Mr Higgins' vessel, as well as a bag containing his ID card washed up near Goolwa Beach along the Coorong coast south of Victor Harbor. "We always hope that we do find him alive. Obviously, as it goes on, the chances of doing that are diminishing.
Derek Robinson and Tony Higgins were found alive earlier this month after nearly a week missing at sea off the South Australian coast.

Energy roadmap is devoid of any hope to return to a ‘rational energy system’ | Sky News AustraliaThere is nothing in the Morrison government’s new so-called ‘energy roadmap’ which offers any hope to return to a “rational energy system” focused on producing cheap and reliable energy, according to Peta Credlin.\n\nThe government has revealed a list of five new and emerging technologies it is planning to invest in as part of a roadmap to bring down emissions. \n\nThrough to 2030, the government said it would invest $18 billion in a bid to unlock further investment for the private sector totalling around $50 billion, and hoped to wipe out 250 million tonnes of emissions by 2040. \n\nThe five major investments included clean hydrogen, energy storage, green steel and aluminium, carbon capture and storage, and soil carbon projects.\n\n“The so-called road map is all about throwing money at emerging low emissions technologies that might – I repeat might – eventually work,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“But in the meantime, relatively cheap 24\u002F7 coal-fired power is exiting the system, and being replaced by wind and solar that's only cheap when the wind blows and the sun shines.\n\n“There's nothing in the national energy road map released yesterday, that offers any real hope that we will get back to a rational energy system that's focused on producing affordable and reliable power, rather than on reducing emissions, any time soon.”\n\n
