A desperate search has begun for a group of seven people missing including four Australians who were travelling on a boat in Indonesia after they failed to reach their destination.
The longboat is believed to have hit bad weather in its journey from Nias Island, off the west coast of Sumatra, to an exclusive surfing resort on the private Pinang Island in Aceh.It kept going towards its destination despite the weather while its accompanying vessel took shelter on Sarang Alu - an island about 30 minutes from Pinang.
“A search and rescue operation is underway following reports of a missing vessel off the west coast of Indonesia,” the spokesman said. Mr Foote shared a post on Instagram yesterday celebrating his return to the tropical country after “so many years”.“Starting the trip off with hiking in the North Sumatran jungle and seeing orangutans was an amazing experience and something that I look forward to doing again for a longer time and going deeper.”
