LIFEGUARDS on duty at Cala Millor, Sant Llorenc, rescued a couple on Sunday, August 6 from a stranded boat. The fifteen metre boat listed onto its side a few metres from the shore. The crew members were transferred unharmed to land, while Civil Protection and Maritime Rescue volunteers made sure that no contaminants had been spilled. The boat was still stranded in the sea on Tuesday, as authorities waited for it to be refloated and transferred to port.
According to sources from the Sant Llorenc town hall and Maritime Rescue, the incident occurred around 7.30pm on Sunday. The Marsave de Cala Millor lifeguard service received a notice that a sailboat was in trouble due to a leak in the hull.
It was the Splendid, a fifteen meter long Slovakian registered boat.
