A man fell off a cruise ship and drifted at sea on a surfboard for three days
A coast guard near the Spanish city of Marbella rescued a man who fell from a cruise ship and drifted on the high seas for three days. Writes about it Lenta.ru.
On Monday, August 24, the crew of the yacht "Estelar" noticed a man on the high seas, who was holding onto a surfboard with all his strength. The commander of the ship immediately informed the rescuers about him. The Spanish coast guard ship Salvamar Vega sailed to help the man.
When the 55-year-old man was hauled aboard, he announced that he was a British citizen and had been on the water for three whole days. He also said that he found himself on the high seas after falling from a cruise ship. The name of the person has not been disclosed, it is still unknown where he got the surfboard.

Rescuers took the victim to the nearest port in the municipality of Estepona. From there he was hospitalized for medical care due to hypothermia. After the man's condition returns to normal, the police will question him and take measures to return him home.
It is still unknown whether the rescued person is telling the truth and is a vacationer, or whether he is a resident of Spain who is hiding something.
This incident has riveted the interest of people on social networks.
“I am intrigued by this story, because finding a surfboard when you are lost on the high seas is even stranger than falling off a ship with it,” one of the discussion participants shared his thoughts.
"Did they throw him a surfboard instead of saving him?" - the other cannot understand.
