With the recent strengthening of the northeasterly seasonal winds, the authorities are urging extra caution during beach activities. Recently a fisherman at Nanliao Fishing Harbor got caught in rough surf and his boat capsized, throwing him into the water. Luckily the crew of a nearby fishing boat rescued him. Initially, the fisherman was vomiting water and unconscious, but luckily he regained consciousness after being taken to the hospital.

First, we threw him a lifebuoy. Then he couldn’t get hold of it, so we brought the boat in closer. Then we threw out a fishing net so he could pull himself in. We saw him coming from the south, and when he entered a rough patch of waves, he capsized. Waves coming at his boat from the side caused the capsizing.

When the paramedics arrived at the scene, the patient was unconscious and had a low body temperature. We gave him to the paramedics to take to the hospital. After he reached the hospital, the patient gained consciousness again and was able to talk normally.

Wave after wave of rough surf capsized this angler’s fishing boat, leaving it bobbing up and down in the water. The crew of a nearby fishing boat caught sight of this and rushed to the rescue. Having narrowly escaped death, the fisher was completely exhausted and lay on the shore, retching heavily. The coast guard put him on a stretcher and rushed him to the hospital. Fortunately, the angler regained consciousness after being taken to the hospital, bringing his harrowing ordeal at sea to a safe conclusion.
