The National Sea Rescue Institute in Richards Bay attended to reports of a ski-boat that run aground with three crewmembers onboard at the time of the incident.
NSRI Spokesperson Craig
Lambinon said the three decided to go fishing but shortly into their trip the
boat motor died and they were washed onto the Port South Arm.
Lambinon said NSRI rescue
swimmers were put ashore and confirmed all 3 men were safe and not injured.
Lambinon said a tow-line was
rigged to the casualty boat and our sea rescue craft pulled the boat free of
the Dolosse and towed it to our sea rescue base where she was moored.
Lambinon said we then returned
to the scene to collect the 3 casualties and to collect our rescue swimmers.
Lambinon said the three men
were brought to our sea rescue base safely and they required no further
assistance.
“The casualty boat appears to
have minimal damage with only a few scratches Lambinon added.
