At Lake Wolfgangsee
Boating in a storm – in distress at sea
While the Flachgau fire departments were deployed to many storm operations on Tuesday evening, boaters were still out and about on Lake Wolfgangsee. At 10.40 pm, they made an emergency call because they could no longer maneuver their boat.
An electric boat got into distress on Lake Wolfgangsee on a stormy Tuesday. At 10.40 p.m., the water rescue service received an emergency call from a German skipper. The 62-year-old was no longer able to maneuver the boat. The engine had failed and the boat had been caught in a storm on the journey from St. Wolfgang to St. Gilgen.
Due to the failure of the electric motor, it drifted helplessly with five people on board about 200 meters from the landing stage in St. Gilgen in rough seas. By chance, the boat drifted close to a buoy belonging to the St. Gilgen yacht club.
The German was able to moor the boat to a buoy and make an emergency call. The rescue team quickly arrived at the scene and were able to bring the crew safely ashore. The St. Gilgen and St. Wolfgang water rescue services and the St. Gilgen volunteer fire department were deployed with a total of 37 firefighters.
