Another Missing Kayaker 16-11-17

Post by vicyak »

A female kayaker launched from Canadian Bay Yacht Club in Mount Eliza yesterday at 10am. She is still missing 24 hours later. Not sure of kayak but it is green. Long shot one of us have seen something. Winds have been fairly calm and blowing Easterly mainly so hopefully she is ok. Easterly at Mt Eliza blows you away and could be anywhere from Queenscliff to Point Wilson.

I launched from Mount Martha and fished the mussel farm area yesterday. Although mostly light winds, at times it did gust up to about 15 knots straight offshore. always good to carry an anchor especially in offshore conditions. Drive failure or paddle over board and you're in the middle of the bay in no time. Hope she is ok

I briefly fished Mornington from Fishies beach on dusk last night. Conditions were reasonably mild but winds were ENE and starting to gust up to moderate strength on dark. Hopefully she turns up unharmed.

Not looking good sadly. Missing two days now if the report that she parked there on Wednesday is correct.
