Bet he was taking a piss and slipped off the rock. Seen it happen before.
Taharoa's no joke. The swell comes up quick out there. Hope he's just holed up somewhere waiting for rescue.
Another one. How many times we gotta hear this? Wear a lifejacket, tell someone where you're going. Common sense ffs.
harsh mate. Not helpful rn.
Thoughts go out to his whānau. Must be an awful wait.
Rough spot that. I've fished there. Choppy as today too probably.
Hopefully they find him before dark. Search and rescue do an unreal job but the weather turns quick out there.

nah it's rough alright. Let's just hope he's okay.
You're right. They do an amazing job with limited resources.
More budget cuts to coastguard probably. Govt doesn't care til it's their mate.
