The St Vincent and the Grenadines Coast Guard Service has resumed rescue operations for a person missing at sea.
This comes following yesterday’s rescue of a man by the Bequia Express ferry, after the vessel in which he was travelling capsized. He was found floating in waters between St Vincent and Bequia.
A second person from the capsized vessel was also brought to the Coast Guard base by a fishing vessel.
Speaking to NBC News, Commander of the Coast Guard Dionne Henry said they did an extensive search of the area where the boat capsized.
