 BRISBANE, Australia (AP) - Relatives of three Australian yachtsmen whose catamaran was found drifting off the Great Barrier Reef vowed Monday to continue searching for the missing men, as theories about their mysterious disappearance emerged.
On Sunday, police called off their search for skipper Des Batten, 56, and brothers Peter and James Tunstead, aged 69 and 63, saying the men had probably been swept overboard nearly a week before, and were unlikely to be found alive.
Relatives of the missing men said they planned to use charter boats to search the islands near the spot where the men are believed to have fallen into the ocean, hoping they might have swum to safety.
