Three notes

He was part of a smaller group of firefighters searching for Mosley.

In addition to professional search teams, including a helicopter, many local volunteers joined the search for the 67-year-old. Many of them used their own boats to search from the sea.

-It's a small island to disappear from. It feels very strange to us. Everyone is worried and looking for him, says Mika Papakaluduka, the mayor's daughter.
