RumPunch Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 See from the EDP there's a 6 metre boat with 2 POB missing last night off Cromer having put out a Mayday. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/boat_with_two_people_aboard_missing_off_the_norfolk_coast_near_cromer_1_3951398 The name / size does have a match with a Broads cuiser. Fingers crossed for a safe outcome ( or it being a hoax ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have just been listening to Radio Norfolk and apparently a fishing vessel of the same name has returned to harbour but it is not the same vessel. They have asked the fishing fraternity to keep an eye out also Humber Coast Guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 After extensive searching by a number of vessels and a Sea King helecopter the search was called off earlier this morning and has been deemed as an hoax.

Polly Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If it is a hoax then it's sick. I couldn't find a boat on Craig's Database answering the description. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Very sick, why on earth would anyone do such a thing, when you think of the time and effort by the emergncy services to find the boat not to mention the risk to their lives and the cost of such a search it really is unbelievable. The fact it was a hoax is in a way a good thing, at least there isn't two bodies to be found, let's hope they find the persons responsible and throw the book at them Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthebiker Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I wonder if the hoaxers realise the efforts needed to raise the thousands of pounds that was wasted in this search. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi Bob, This hoax was a waste of everyone's time including the Humber Coastguard who coordinated the search, a RAF Rescue helicopter, the Cromer Life Boat and several vessels that were in the area including a gas rig support vessel and a ferry. These idiots if found should be taken to task for their stupidity, these emergency services can not be everywhere and a real emergency could have developed at the time of this search.
