Casper Frylinck, NSRI Mykonos station commander, said:

At 10h22, Thursdat, 05 January, NSRI Mykonos duty crew, in our sea rescue vehicle, towed the sea rescue craft Gemini II to St Helena Bay to launch a search for a Crayfish Bakkie (small open boat), with 3 fishermen onboard, reported by concerned family to be overdue from fishing.

During an extensive sea search that lasted into the afternoon they were located at anchor and with motor mechanical failure but safe and we towed them to St Helena Bay harbour without incident and they were reunited with family and they required no further assistance.
