Just seen on the news a sailor lost overboard a yacht off Freo. Sea rescue and others out looking for them in these conditions. Hope they all get back safe. Last place I'd want to be right now.

Lost the tender for the yacht, guy was attempting to retrieve it and got thrown into the water. That’s what I read.
