On Wednesday the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) sprang into action following a request for medical assistance when a crew member of a fishing trawler was reported to have been suffering from epileptic seizures while at sea close to Knysna.
“We launched our rescue craft Alex Blaikie to rendezvous with The Bounty who were heading towards Knysna. An ER-24 ambulance was dispatched to stand-by at our NSRI rescue base,” says NSRI Knysna Station Commander Rein Hofmeyr.
Hofmeyr added that the man who is in his early 40’s believed to be from Mossel Bay was stabilised and then taken to hospital where he is now in a stable condition.
