Fisherman capsized
Water rescuers in action: boat rescues on Lake Mondsee
The water rescuers from Mondsee and Loibichl were called out on two occasions on Saturday. In the morning, a local fisherman (77) capsized. Then a storm arose - the water rescuers had to help a sailing boat.
At 7.44 am, the water rescuers from Mondsee and Loibichl (both Upper Austria) were alerted by the police to a human rescue.
A fisherman had capsized with his boat in the Loibichl area. The pensioner fell into the lake and was not wearing a life jacket. A nearby fisherman (66) from Salzburg heard his shouts, came to the 77-year-old's aid and brought him to shore unharmed. Shortly afterwards, the water rescue team brought the victim's boat ashore.
Sailing boat rescued during stormy weather
Shortly after this operation at 9.30 a.m., Geosphere Austria activated the storm warning for the Flachgau lakes and Lake Mondsee. The water rescuers set off on their storm trip and discovered a sailing boat that was no longer making any headway. Loibichl Water Rescue brought the boat in tow to its home buoy.
Although based in Upper Austria, the two water rescue stations Mondsee and Loibichl are part of the Salzburg regional association.
