We are grateful for the support in the search operation from the private boaters and volunteers on the ground. I am especially grateful for the great work of my officers from the Marine Branch Unit who were assisted by the United States Coast Guard. They were certainly doing what they could to find Mr Noel and their professionalism and commitment was made all the more worthwhile today when Mr Noel was found. We are proud and thankful to everyone involved”.
