AMSA Search postponed today
AMSA has advised that the search has been postponed for today due to bad weather in the search area. No planes flying and the Success has left the immediate area because of the weather.
"Due to rough seas, HMAS Success departed the search area early this morning and is now in transit south of the search area until seas abate. A sea state ranging between 7 to 8 is forecast today with waves up to two metres and an associated swell of up to four metres.
The area is also forecast to experience strong gale force winds of up to 80km/h, periods of heavy rain, and low cloud with a ceiling between 200 and 500 feet."
The Success was not able to locate either of the items spotted by the Orion yesterday (and with that weather forecast you can assume they are not going to be anywhere near where they were by the time the weather improves.
