The Maritime Authorities through Salvamento Marítimo (Sea-Rescue Service) have ordered the removal of fuel from the beached motoryacht on Playa de Carchuna.
The yacht suffered a problem in the engine room during the morning leaving the craft at the mercy of wind and currents, so they called for help at 13.30h.
The Mayor of Motril, together with the First Councillor for the Carchuna/Calahonda ELA, stood on a hilltop looking at plans for a beauty-spot look-out point.
The Servicio Marítimo (Guardia) carried out a rescue 500 metres from the Chucha beach in Carchuna after a boat began to sink, leaving two people treading water.
Yesterday’s incident on Playa de La Rijana was not the only beach incident lately as there was a heart-attack victim on Playa de la Perla in Carchuna on Sunday.
