The search was to continue today for a Hokianga man missing for more than a week.
Darrell "Deli" Hamilton-Singh, 46, has not been seen since he set his net on a tidal flat at Motukauri, on the northern side of Hokianga Harbour, east of Kohukohu, about 3am a week ago yesterday.
His partner told the Northern Advocate late yesterday that after some poor weather in recent days, the conditions had improved and she hoped Mr Hamilton-Singh would be found by family and friends who continued searching for the father of three boys, aged 18, 14 and 11.
She said Mr Hamilton-Singh had set the net in the same area hundreds of times previously. Up to 50 people had helped in the search. A rahui has been placed on the area stretching from Rangi Pt to Motukaraka and will remain in place until he is found.
