Sea Rescue out again...

[Nova]

The orange sea rescue boat has just passed at high speed in the direction of Westhaven Bay

swimmer possibly missing at Poris .....

[Nova]

It was too close to the shore for Poris - wouldn't have made it round the headland at Silencio, or so it looked from here...

[Janet]

It's very odd because the sea rescue was scrambled just ten minutes before you posted ... no update yet.

[Janet]

As of five minutes ago, sea rescue has been joined by Policía Local, search and rescue helicopter and land teams ...

Guardia Civil patrol boat about to join in ... be interesting if you see that, Nova.

[Nova]

It's so dark now that I'll only see their lights.  I wish I could see round the corner.  Do we have confirmation of their location?  Is it Silencio or did the rescue boat make it round the headland even though it barely skimmed the rocks just off the beach?

[Janet]

They're all heading for Poris, that's confirmed.

[Nova]

I've seen nothing else go by except a tiny little fishing boat that followed the trajectory of the sea rescue just before dark, until it approached the rocks then appeared to veer right and either kept going away from the shore or stopped to fish.

It's all hands to the pump whatever it is.

[Janet]

It is now, another government lifeboat out now too ...

here's the trajectory of the boat you saw earlier, Nova ... coming up the coast from Galletas-Silencio to Poris, and then round and round, and round and round, looking ...

There is a similar graphic for the helicopter ....

 Last night's intensive efforts to locate this swimmer were fruitless and they resumed this morning at first light. Confirmation of the swimmer's departure came from his swimming companion who reported him missing during a crossing of Poris bay. The Red Cross has sent psychological help for the missing swimmer's family. JA

edit: And very sadly, a body has been recovered this morning by Guardia Civil divers in Poris bay.
