The National Sea Rescue Institute in Bakoven rescued a lone paddler who appeared to be to be in difficulty and acting suspiciously off shore of Green Point.

Eyewitness said they spotted the paddler and appeared to them to be refusing to be assisted, even though he was not fit or equipped to be at sea.

NSRI Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said: “On arrival on scene NSRI found that a lone paddler, unknown, as he didn’t give much information but he was in a small blow up dinky that you normally find in a swimming pool and using a garden rake as an oar.”

Lambinon said: “He was found one ordinal mile offshore of the Mouille Point Lighthouse. He was brought to shore where police took custody of the man, it was unknown where he comes from or where he was going to.”
