Hey all you Poleys,

I've spoken to a mate and have heard that Police were searching for a windsurfer that was seen by a bystander on the beach getting into difficulty mayby 500m out from the Scarborough Surf Club at about 6:45pm today (13/11). Best description was a triangle sail (sorry the witness wasn't a poley or kiter) with perhaps 3 or 4 red stripes. Apparently the wind was dropping off and he/she couldn't restart. The person lost sight of them as it got dark and they were still out on the water.

Water Police, airwing, rangers and local coppers have done a thorough search and believe if he/she was still out there they would have been found already. On the off chance this was you or you know who it was can you wake them up and have them contact Fremantle Water Police 9442 8600 so the search can be called off.

Cheers

Chris

Nothing on the news I guess they made it in. If the witness wasnt a windsurfer or a teabagger they think we all look the same and probably cant tell the difference.
