A 73-year-old kayaker has been found alive after spending the night missing off the South Australian coast.
Goran Radic failed to return from a crabfishing trip off Middle Beach, north of Adelaide, yesterday.
His concerned family raised the alarm just before 11pm.
Emergency services searched for him into the night and finally found him in mangroves this morning.
Radic was winched to safety and checked by paramedics.
He was not injured.
Speaking to 9News, he said he survived the night on supplies he had packed.
“I didn’t panic, I was alright. I’ve seen rescue helicopters sometime in the night and they missed me, so I decided to go to St Kilda to try there, I saw light there,” he said.
“But didn’t find it, so I kayaked back and they found me this morning.”
Radic said his overnight dilemma has not deterred him from kayaking in the future.
