Family, friends search on for missing boaties
.
Family and friends have so far failed to find the bodies of Timaru men Antony Haywood, 46, and Murray Green, 54, after their boat capsized on a fishing trip on Lake Tekapo last Wednesday.
Searchers recovered the body of the third crew member Mr Haywood’s father Alexander Haywood, 72, of Pleasant Point, close to Timaru, the day after the tragedy.
However, they had not yet found sign of their bodies, a Tekapo police spokesman said this afternoon.
Police called off the official search for the other two on Friday but relatives and friends continued looking for the men throughout the weekend.
Police believe that the fishing boat which had been recovered possibly hit a submerged object such as a tree at high speed about midday Wednesday flinging the men into the icy water. .

Mr Haywood’s funeral will be held in Timaru tomorrow
