The search for three missing fishermen off the coast of Gisborne has been a harrowing ordeal. After two people were spotted in the water earlier today but couldn't be rescued, the community is on edge, waiting for updates. The planned fishing trip on Monday turned into a distressing situation as the men failed to return. As friends and family pay tribute to the lost fishermen, the search operation faces challenges with the rough seas and unfavorable weather conditions. With the search suspended until first light, the fate of the missing men remains uncertain.

Amid the tributes and anxieties, Maritime New Zealand's RCCNZ in Gisborne announced the postponement of the search until the following day. The suspensions of the search operation have left many in the community in a state of suspense, eager for any news on the missing fishermen. Despite the life raft deployment and intensified search efforts, the continued bad weather hampers rescue attempts, prolonging the anguish for the loved ones eagerly awaiting any updates.

As the search efforts face obstacles from the unfavorable weather, the courage and dedication of the search and rescue teams shine through. The resilience and commitment of those involved in the mission to find the missing fishermen in challenging conditions deserve praise and recognition. The heartbreaking situation highlights the bravery and selflessness of those working tirelessly to bring the fishermen back home safely.
