One is dead, the other is missing
Here is the message that the Polish Center for the Organization of Sea Rescue in Gdynia distributed today:
On Sunday, September 15, at about 17.50, our Center received a message saying that the Polish 12-meter yacht Lilla w. Is in distress near the Lithuanian port of Klaipeda. Later new messages arrived – about rescue operations.
As it turned out, a certain gentleman saw the yacht in distress from the beach, and he reported it to the appropriate services. The wind at that moment was 9 points on the Beaufort scale (storm, 75 – 88 km / h).
The yacht was soon washed ashore, but all seven crew members, as it turned out, were in the water. Six of them were picked up by a Lithuanian rescue helicopter. Unfortunately, the captain of the yacht had died by this time.
The seventh crew member has not yet been found. He is considered missing.
