Very sad news
and a timely reminder to be very careful in rough seas. Especially when you not familiar with the area.
Always check the forecast and be mindful of rising swells. It was forecast to rise from 2m to 4.5m down here yesterday.

They were anchored up at he back of windmills, diving probably, wearing wetsuits and booties etc. when the anchor got stuck.
Whilst trying to retreive it a wave came through and because the rope was taught the boat went through the wave like a surfboard, and flipped.
Poor buggers, couple of Maori boys trying their luck over Easter
The sea recue boys have brought another body back to the ramp
Heartbreaking for all involved.

It appears the guy died a hero. After the capsize he went back under the boat to get a lifejacket, gave it to his mate and went to get one for himself. Never came back up

Not sure if
it was broadcast in Perth but there was a report on the news down here with some pics of Nachos and some tributes from his family and friends. Our thoughts are with them.
Very sad end to what i'm sure was a fun weekend.
RIP Nachos.

What makes it hit home
is that we did the Naturaliste Lighthouse tour on the Tuesday and had no idea we were overlooking where it happened
