FIshermen rescued after electrical failure
Three fishermen from Antigua and Barbuda were rescued at sea on Monday after their vessel became disabled due to electrical issues near the island of Redonda.
According to reports from the coast guard, the men encountered trouble while at sea when their boat developed electrical problems, leaving them stranded and unable to navigate safely.
An aircraft later spotted the distressed vessel in waters near Redonda, which lies between Antigua and Montserrat. By that time, authorities in St. Kitts had already mobilized and were prepared to assist in the rescue effort.
The St. Kitts Coast Guard subsequently responded and successfully pulled the vessel to safety. The three fishermen were rescued at approximately 3:55 p.m.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, and all three men were safely accounted for following the operation.
You know, I don’t salute people questioning God’s work but sometimes I do it myself. Sometimes I ask, why he does it for some and not for others. Like, those three men were rescued, but a family is currently living in grief because three were lost at sea. Now they are going to raise the same question, seeing this article. I guess, it’s God’s work and he knows why he does certain things but where does that leave our faith at times
Whew! We have a rescue case and not a missing case!
This is a reminder of how dangerous fishing can be, even when everything seems normal at the start.
Three men just out there doing their job and suddenly in danger like that… life can change fast.
Credit to all the agencies involved. Quick response clearly made the difference here.
Hip Hop Hooray
Thank God. Travesty averted
St Kitts coast guard doing well
Thats better news. AT least they are found and in good time
We are happy they did not suffer the same fate as those who died from Urlings
