On Thursday July 23, 2008, the Seychelles Nation reported that a man has been admitted to Victoria Hospital after an accident at sea, while two others were still missing. According to the Nation, Percy Samson was taken to hospital while a search was still underway to find Pat Micock and Jimmy Morel. The three men were believed to be on a fishing trip in a speedboat when the accident occurred just off Ste Anne Island. Still according to the Nation the Coastguard was alerted at about 1 am on Wednesday morning by the relatives of one of the men and they reacted instantly.

Percy Samson using a floater managed to reach the shore at North East Point where he called out for help and was overheard by people living in the vicinity. They came to his rescue. The Coastguard, having had information that there was a drifting boat off the Machabee area, later that day towed the speedboat to the Coastguard’s headquarters in Port Victoria. ….more >
