Still no sign of life with man gone missing at sea near Acklins…
Acklins – BP in Acklins can confirm police and defence force officers are still searching waters off Crooked Island for the male who went missing at sea in that area on Tuesday morning.
Residents in Acklins have discovered the vessel which the three men travelled on before they ran out of gas in the area on Tuesday. The damaged vessel and some clothing were recovered near Pestle Beach along Chester Acklins in the backdrop of rough seas.
