A 33 year-old man was rescued by NSRI St Francis Bay volunteer duty crew after suffering a suspected heart attack on a chokka fishing boat, 6 nautical miles off-shore.
NSRI St Francis Bay volunteers aboard the sea rescue craft Spirit of St Francis II transported the local man to shore. he was then transported to hospital by Private Care ambulance services in a stable but serious condition.
NSRI are continuing to warn that for the remainder of this week the sea is in the Spring Tide (brought on by the full moon on the 30th September), meaning higher than normal high tides, lower than normal low tides and stronger than normal rip-currents prevailing until the end of this week.
Bathers, and anglers fishing from rocks and piers are urged to be cautious.
