Two people, identified as H.A. and G.E., living in Tekirdağ, set out to sea from the shore of Bahçelievler Mahallesi in the Süleymanpaşa district at around 7:30 pm on an inflatable rubber boat. As they drifted out into the open sea with the boat in the rough waters, the two individuals were unable to bring the boat back to shore, so they jumped into the sea to swim towards land.
Upon receiving reports from witnesses who saw the two individuals stranded amidst the waves, the Coast Guard Command boat was dispatched to the area. H.A. and G.E., who were stranded at sea, were brought ashore by the Coast Guard boat. The two individuals were then examined by medical teams waiting on the shore and it was determined that their health condition was good. However, their boat was lost at sea.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers associated with venturing out to sea without proper precautions and equipment, especially in rough waters. It is crucial for individuals to always be mindful of their safety and take necessary measures to prevent such incidents from occurring. Thanks to the prompt response of the Coast Guard, H.A. and G.E. were rescued and their well-being was ensured.
Authorities have highlighted the importance of adhering to safety guidelines and regulations when engaging in water activities to avoid accidents and emergencies. Boaters and swimmers are advised to check weather conditions, ensure they have appropriate safety equipment, and avoid risky behavior that could put their lives at risk. The incident in Tekirdağ serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the sea and the importance of being prepared for any situation.
Both H.A. and G.E. were fortunate to escape unharmed from their ordeal, but the loss of their boat underscores the need for caution and preparedness when engaging in maritime activities. The incident has also prompted discussions on raising awareness about sea safety and the importance of following guidelines to prevent similar incidents in the future. As summer approaches and more people flock to the beaches and coastlines, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize safety and take necessary precautions to avoid accidents and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience by the sea.
