Colombian
Coastguards Rescue 6 Foreign Tourists in
Caribbean Sea
Bogota - Colombian coastguards rescued on
Tuesday four Australian, one Irish and one
Swiss tourist who were drifting in high seas
when their ship, with the U.S. flag, lost
rudder in the Caribbean Sea.
Frigate Captain Joaquin Urrego, commander of
the Coastguards Station from Covenas said
that the tourists were rescued in good
health conditions despite they had been in
high seas since Sunday.
"The sailboat was drifting since Sunday one
mille from Boca Corea, in the department of
Cordoba near the Sinu River outlet," Urrego
said.
A Colombian coastguard saw the tourists and
he towed the ship.
The identities of the tourists have not been
revealed and they were taken to Fuerte
Island in the department of Bolivar.
The ship sailed from the bordering locality
of Panama, Puerto Obaldia, Urrego added.
