During a routine exercise on the water, our team received a distress call about a windsurfer separated from their board and struggling in the water.

Racing against time, we quickly located the caller on the beach, who directed us to the windsurfer’s location.We reached the scene within two minutes, spotting the distressed individual and their partner nearby.

Despite initial confusion and reluctance, we managed to coax the windsurfer onto our vessel, where they warmed up and expressed gratitude for our assistance.

Thankfully, they didn’t need further medical attention, and we safely brought them back to shore, ensuring they were reunited with their board and relieved loved ones.
