For six days now, Ramon Roman (56) and Gabriel Raimann (38) They are intensely searched by sky, water and land, after entering the sea to spend a day of fishing and disappearing, near the seaside resort city of Pinamar.
This Saturday news was revealed in the operation that was mounted to find them. First a float from the boat was located and then the complete kayak that they both embarked with last Sunday.
The information was confirmed by investigation sources to the media Infobae, which reported that the boat was found around noon in front of the spa city of Villa Gesell, 30 kilometers offshore.
During the last hours, the search had even reached the Samborombón Bay area, due to the appearance of an orange element of possible interest. However, there was no further news on that track.

Search in Pinamar: the discovery of the float
Earlier, a float similar to that of the canoe used by fishermen had been found during a search in the Querandí Lighthouse area, in Villa Gesell, a few kilometers south of where they entered the water.
One of the sons of the wanted men, TN reported, was the one who confirmed that it was a yellow floatwith a blue pipe.
Search in Pinamar: day of fishing and disappearance
Román and Raimann disappeared last Sunday, while sailing with an orange kayak with yellow floats, similar to the one found this Saturday in Gesell.
The idea was to spend a day fishing with friends. To do this, around 6:00, the two arrived at the nautical descent of Valeria del Mar in a black Toyota Hilux truck and entered the sea. Since then, nothing is known about them.
Only on Monday, at 9:30, a neighbor called the Beach Safety Directorate to warn that the truck in question had spent the night parked on the sand, which caught his attention.
At the moment, the researchers’ main suspicion is that the strong winds and bad weather that hit the Buenos Aires coast in recent days could have dragged the fishermen out to sea.
