The search for missing kayaker Andrew John Donohue, 49, of Chudleigh, believed missing in waters off Perkins Island, is continuing today.

Acting Inspector Stewart Williams said concerns are held for Mr Donohue, whose kayak was located by police in waters off Perkins Island about 9.40am yesterday.

“Multiple resources including marine police and the rescue helicopter have recommenced the search for Mr Donohue who failed to return from a fishing trip off the north western side of Perkins Island on Friday night.”

“Police hold significant concerns for Mr Donohue’s welfare, given the time of night he went missing, the strong easterly winds combined with the fact that he wasn’t wearing a PFD.”
