7.45am: Yeppoon Coast Guard volunteers are gearing up Tuesday morning to join the search for a 4.6m boat which dragged its anchor off Conical Island on Monday. Police are currently looking near Farnborough and the Coast Guard will head out toward Corio Bay. Yeppoon s Flotilla Commander said the vessel was likely to head that way given the eastern swell and winds. If it runs into anything at 30 knots, it ll be just like a car crash, he said. The Coast Guard has sent a radio alert to vessels in the area. The boat s owner was camping at the National Park campgrounds with his family until Friday.
