Coastguard rescued 22 tourists in December


By A.M. Costa Rica staff

The National Coast Guard Service has reported the result of the ‘Summer Safe Operation,’ rescuing 22 people at several beaches of the country during the month of December.

According to the rescuers, the largest number of rescues occurred at Manuel Antonio beach*, in Puntarenas. Among the tourists rescued on the National Park were six Costa Ricans, one Italian citizen, one English citizen and one U.S. citizen. The eight people were on a tour at Manuel Antonio beach, when they suffered a minor accident. The tourists were attended by the officers of the Quepos station.

Another rescue was reported December 26. A U.S. tourist, identified as Chandu Chandhari, age 77, had severe chest pain and was apparently suffering a heart attack. He was aboard the sailboat ‘Panach’ and was attended at Danta beach*, near Cabo Velas in Santa Cruz in Guanacaste, the rescuers reported. Chandhari was taken to the Flamingo Coast Guard Station where he was taken to a private hospital by ambulance.

In another emergency, this one on Christmas Day, the Coast Guard responded to a report that two tourists were in a kayak that was sinking. The kayak was in the area where the Italian ship 'Fella' sank near Paseo de los Turistas road*. The coastguards rescued the two tourists using a SNG323 ambulance boat and took them to the port of Puntarenas. The names and nationalities of the men could not be ascertained as neither carried any identification. The officers only recorded that both were tourists, both were in good health and after arriving at the port of Puntarenas, both left on their own.

In December the National Coast Guard Service of the Ministry of Security started, "Operation Safe Summer," to provide extra attention for national and international tourists.

The special operation will be extended until February 3, 2019, and will involve 115 Coast Guard officers, who will have 23 vessels and 12 land mobile units in 10 stations on the coasts of the Caribbean and 7 stations on the Pacific coast.
