PHUKET: Forty four Italian and French tourists were rescued yesterday after a speedboat crashed into an underwater concrete pole about a hundred meters away from shore. 

The boat, named Ao Ja Sira, left the Gypsy Pier behind the Westin Siray Bay resort in Rassada at about 10am. The crash occurred less than five minutes into the journey.

A passing tourist boat, the Anurak 9, helped rescue everyone on board.

He hit a concrete mooring point, complete with buoy, 500 metres from his port!

Didn't see it!

Another competent boat skipper in charge of tourist's lives.

 

 

 

Concrete mooring points must be very similar to electric poles.  They just appear out of nowhere.   :smile:

“We have yet to learn why the concrete structure is there. We will investigate further and question the boat captain, Mr Thawit Lakoh, to get more information,” Phuket Marine Office chief Surat Sirisaiyas told the Phuket Gazette.

Such a big sea, so many things to do, so little time. :coffee1:

"PHUKET: A total of 44 Italian and French passengers departing Phuket were rescued from a sinking speedboat after the boat slammed into a concrete mooring block 500 meters from shore off Koh Siray yesterday morning (Feb 17)."
