San Nicola l’Arena, harbor master saves couple and children on a broken-down boat.

#Palermo
The Coast Guard officers in Porticello rescued a sailboat carrying a man with his pregnant wife and their two children, aged 4 and 2. The boat was at the mercy of the waves because the rudder had broken.

The Coast Guard patrol boat managed to reach the damaged boat and decided to try to tow it. The transfer, considering the pregnant woman, would have been difficult. The rough sea, due to the strong wind, made the recovery operations challenging.

After two hours, the sailboat reached the port of San Nicola l’Arena without any consequences for the people on board. The Coast Guard operations center received several requests for help.
