Ferry rescued castaway
On Dec 15, 2023, the search was on for a group of Venezuelan nationals lost at sea, after their vessel sank near the First Boca, just off the coast of Trinidad. One of the Venezuelans was rescued by the crew of the 'Buccoo Reef' en route to Tobago. Passengers had spotted the man floating in the water and desperately signalling for help one hour into the sailing. Soon after, the captain and crew were alerted and the ferry made an emergency stop. A lifeboat was launched and the castaway pulled on board. The ship docked at the Scarborough Port just before noon and as passengers disembarked, an ambulance was on the compound to collect the man. The distressed vessel had left Las Cuevas Bay en route to Venezuela.
