UPDATE posted on Boat Watch Facebook Group December 22, 2023
It is with great regret that I am passing on the news that RCC New Zealand has called off their search for SV Andiamo. That’s all but an official proclamation that they’re lost at sea. For those of you in Tongawho knew them and would like to pay respects, stand by for info on the wake being arranged for them in January.
