A 75-year-old man sailing on a catamaran with other people fell into the sea yesterday Sunday at an undetermined point between es Pujols and the cliff of La Mola, reports the Consell de Formentera.
At around 6 p.mmembers of the boat communicated with the lifeguard service of Formentera to report the man in the water, without specifying very well where he could be found since they had lost sight of him.
The lifeguards jumped on a jet ski and went out to look for the missing man with the little information they had. Half an hour later, they managed to find him and proceeded to rescue him.
The man was hooked to the jet ski and taken to the shore, where some tourists recorded the sequence in this video, in which you can hear the applause of the bathers when they saw the lifeguards arrive with the castaway to safety.
