The search for two boaties missing in West Coast waters has been suspended overnight. Two people are missing and a man has been rescued from a rock after a boat sank off the West Coast. A helicopter is continuing to search the area to try and find the missing two crew members. Police said the rescued man was transported to Greymouth Hospital in a stable condition. As well as a helicopter search continuing into the evening, a shore line search had commenced on foot but was limited by the extremely rugged coast line.
