#opihi picker search

The man had gone opihi harvesting with a friend when they were swept offshore by a wave on Thursday afternoon.

A search is underway off Hawaiʻi Island for a 40-year-old man who was picking opihi with a friend, but was swept offshore by a wave. His friend was able to make it back to shore and was rescued from the bottom of a 60-foot cliff by fire department personnel.
