Man missing at sea, another man swims to shore after boat found overturned in WA's Dampier Archipelago

A man in his 20s is missing at sea after a boat accident in the Dampier Archipelago off Western Australia's north-west coast. A second man swam to shore after the pair's vessel hit a mooring around 11pm on Saturday night near the southern end of West Lewis Island. The second man swam for about an hour to reach shore and walked across rocky terrain on West Lewis Island before being discovered by friends he was camping with about 6am on Sunday. Marine rescue vessels from Dampier and Port Walcott, private helicopters, a fisheries boat and several other commercial and recreational boats have been searching for the missing man.
