The National Sea Rescue Institute
in Bakoven were on Saturday afternoon activated to respond to Mouille Point
where 4 men had reportedly been rescued by a passing boat.
It is alleged that the
boat was off their rigid inflatable boat that appeared to have suffered
mechanical motor failure and was at risk of running onto rocks.
NSRI Spokesperson Craig
Lambinon said the NSRI Table Bay, who were on a routine patrol in the area at
the time, reached the boat and confirmed that the 4 men were safe having
already been taken to the Oceana Power Boat Club.
Lambinon also said an
NSRI rescue crewman was put onto the casualty boat after the boat had been
towed further out to sea by NSRI Table Bay and the NSRI crewman was able to
start the motor and took delivered the boat to the OPBC returning the boat to
her owners.
