July 23rd 13:56 THe Gazelle

An 83 year old male fell in the water while trying to board his yacht on its mooring off The Gazelle. He was in the water approximately 15 minutes before managing to get aboard helped by his wife. The lifeboat attended and a first aid qualified crew member checked out the casualty and found him to be uninjured but in view of his age, a paramedic was ferried out to the yacht for the man to be checked over more thoroughly. He was found to be well and so left aboard the vessel.
