Man missing at sea in El Médano

[Janet]

A search and rescue operation has been going on throughout the night around El Médano, say emergency services, after a man's disappearance. Local reports say that a helicopter was circling all night, and that the lifeboats Salvamar Tenerife and Salvamar Alpheratz have been out, along with the lifeguard jetski. Police have also been stationed at Bocinegro.  JA

I would have thought the chances of spotting anyone in the dark in the sea were between slim and none.  And still don't understand how people get into such predicaments.

The search has been called off for the missing El Médano man because, thankfully, the man has been found alive and well on dry land, and was not in need of any assistance.

I bet somebody feels very stupid right now

I had to bite my tongue (or rather, sit on my fingers) when I was posting the update because I so wanted to say something along those lines ...

Oh FFS, as they say.
