Police say he was reported missing yesterday afternoon, after leaving Bickerton Island for Groote Eylandt on Sunday morning.

Emergency services spotted him anchored in heavy seas not far from Bickerton Island yesterday but bad weather prevented him from being rescued.

The search resumed this morning.

He was found in his boat south-east of Groote Eylandt.
