NSRI withdraws from search for missing seamen

The National Sea Rescue Institute has withdrawn from the search for two men who were reported to be clinging to a boat that capsized off St Helena Bay on the West coast on Thursday. However, the police diving unit is continuing with the search. Three men were on board the boat when it ran into trouble on Thursday afternoon, and one of the men managed to swim to shore to raise the alarm. NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon said that they searched for the men all night, with no success. The boat was recovered on Friday morning.
