The man, aged in his 60s, had been on the vessel with just his dog when he fell into the water. Lifeguards and beachgoers spotted the boat - M.V Focus - moving erratically and aimlessly off the northern tip of Bribie Island. "Lifeguards noticed the vessel had run aground just after 4pm and immediately responded," Sunshine Coast Lifeguard Supervisor Rhys Drury said. "They conducted a search of the vessel and no one was located on board."
Water police and a rescue helicopter are conducting a search after a vessel ran aground at Caloundra with only a dog onboard.
The dog is safe and well and was taken off the boat by lifeguards.
