Navillus

After a difficult landing on Late Island yesterday, a nine man Tongan search party is returning home this afternoon after conducting a land search for two Australian sailors who remain missing after their yacht Navillus was wrecked off the island on Thursday night last week.

I am the partner of one of the missing sailors. I want anyone concerned with the search to know that the cost of fuel for the search must not be an impediment to the search continuing. I will raise the money to pay, I pledge that sincerely. I want my beloved to come home. I am beside myself with grief and fear of losing him. - Sue Love

Debris with the name of a missing yacht was found in Tongan waters this morning according to marine-radio reports coming from boats searching waters around Late, a small isolated volcanic island, south west of Vava’u, Tonga.
