The National Sea Rescue Institute in Koegelbaai rescued 21 people who were trapped by incoming tide on an island between
NSRI Spokesperson Criag Lambinon said the group
were doing sightseeing but they were caught in the high tide.
NSRI Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said on
arrival on scene it was found that a rescue boat could not get onto the rocks
to get them off.
Lambinon said a helicopter was called in
and the 20 people who were believed to be on the island were rescued five
people at a time using a short haul rescue technique.
“After the helicopter had left the scene it
was determined that another one person was left behind and search and rescue
went in and got him out resulting in 21 people being rescued” Lambinon added.
