In the night just passed, The Port Authority of Milazzo intervened to help two people in difficulty at seathanks to the timely report of a relative. The two unfortunate, both of about 70 years old, had remained in cream on board their small pleasure boating due to a failure of the engine and, for about two hours, they had not been able to step towards the port. Without any working means, the two had had to rely exclusively on two rows to try to reach the mainland.
The relative, who had not seen them return, contacted the Milazzo coast guard who promptly started the research operations. Through telephone indications it was possible to identify the sea area where the small boat was located, which on board had no reporting device to indicate the position. The patrol boat SAR CP 875 intervened immediately, which, despite the darkness of the night, She managed to locate the vessel to the traverse of the sea cross.
The two unfortunate were present on board the small naval unit, who fortunately paid in good health. The men of the Coast Guard then recovered the two and accompanied them to rescue to the port. The Coast Guard recommends all the boaters to always verify the state of efficiency of their unit, to have suitable means of communication and reporting.
