NSRI St Francis Bay was called out yesterday afternoon due to reports of a couple being swept towards the Krom River Mouth on their river boat.
“A group of swimming the river at the time had reportedly tried to assist the couple but had abandoned their attempts due to strong currents,” said NSRI’s Craig Lambinon
“The NSRI launched their rescue craft Pierre on the scene, got to the couple who at that stage got wedged on a sand bank, the sand bank prevented them from being swept out the river mouth and they were brought to shore safely where they required no further assistance,” said Lambinon
