We are hoping and praying that the three fishermen come back to their community. The three men were last seen about 8.30am on Tuesday at a reef near Green Island where they appeared to be having engine trouble. They have not been heard from since. On Friday, the already huge area covered by an air and sea search was expanded to include ocean off the coast of Cape York. A day earlier the community of Yarrabah waited at the shore side for news of a safe return after launching about 10 local boats to assist in the official search. At an end to the third day of the search Cr Ross Andrews said the community were hanging on to hope that the fishermen would be found safe and well.
