The men are missing from the Greymouth-based Wendy J, which sank on the South Westland coast and ran aground after becoming entangled in a rope. Brown said the Wendy J had gone to Smoothwater Bay to seek shelter. The search for the missing men was suspended last night and was held up by bad weather this morning but conditions have eased and it has resumed.
