From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 22 March 2022

The search for the last person missing in the Far North fishing boat disaster will resume this morning.

Four people died and and five were rescued after the Enchanter sank off North Cape on Sunday night . A rogue wave is understood to have hit the boat.

The Enchanter was skippered by Lance Goodhew - who survived the ordeal. But 43-year-old Te Awamutu builder and father of three Mark Sanders did not.

His father, Graeme Sanders, remembers him as a talented sportsman and mad keen fisherman.

Mangonui Harbour Warden Steve Smith spoke to Corin Dann.
