It was reported that the patient and two other men left Gros Islet about 10.00 p.m. Monday night on a fishing expedition.
According to information, the vessel in which the three were travelling developed engine trouble and capsized when it was hit by a huge wave on its way from Saint Vincent.
The men are said to have held on to items from the capsized boat and used them as floating devices.

However, the male who was eventually rescued is reported to have lost track of his two companions.
The Saint Lucia Fire Service said it received a call about 4.00 p.m. Tuesday from L’Express Des Îles, indicating that their vessel had picked up a male from the water and that he needed to be transported to hospital via ambulance.
