It looks like you made a life saviing descision
Today, on the Portuguese coast near the entrance of the Figueira da Foz river bar, a German 10m yacht finished on the beach. The maritime police managed to rescue 4 of the five crew members at the cost of the life of one of the rescuers. Two more rescuers were hospitalized as well as 4 from the sailboat crew.
The rescue was attempted by two boats in the middle of 5 meter breakers. One of the rescue boats capsized.
It is not clear what happened but when the rescuers arrived the sailboat had the mast broken and was on the breaking zone.
