The National Sea Rescue
Institute in Port Elizabeth volunteer sea rescue duty crew were activated
following reports of a rubber-duck with a man onboard being swept out to sea at
the Swartkops River Mouth.
NSRI Spokesperson Craig
Lambinon said the 30 year old Uitenhage man phoned NSRI to say he had been
fishing when his boat suffered engine failure.
Lambinon said despite
having his anchor deployed the anchor dragged and he was swept out to sea on
the rubber-duck.
He added that the NSRI
Port Elizabeth volunteer sea rescue duty crew towed the sea rescue craft
BOARDWALK RESCUER which was launched at Swartkops River mouth
and on reaching the man a tow-line was rigged and we towed him to shore where
he required no further assistance.
