“My partner warns me that we have a log in front. With the lines and the poles, I deviate about 15, 20 degrees, to the right and, when I go to see such a log, it moves and raises my hand. Imagine the fright“said Rolando Visbal, one of the fishermen.
Gustavo Borsch, his partner, was satisfied that he had managed to rescue the woman alive, who was initially thrown a life jacket.
“We don’t fish, but that’s the best fishing of my life, save a life, I’m happy about that“, he claimed.
Immediately, they gave her first aid to bring her to safety and transfer her to a health center in Puerto Colombia. “Easy, easy, don’t worry,” they told her.

According to the fishermen, the woman would have spent several hours floating at a distance of between 2 and 4 kilometers from the shore of the beach, a fact that aroused suspicions in the rescuers.
“I asked him why he was so far away and how he got there. He tells me that he had gone swimming at night,” said Rolando.
However, the fisherman said that “as a lifelong rescuer” that he has been, he knows that “that is impossible.”
“What happened? In my concept they are two things. It was thrown from a boat, a boat, or was thrown. She says that she went into the sea, but achieving that distance of more than 3 kilometers “raises doubts, he noted.
Authorities are investigating how and why the woman ended up adrift at sea. Her rescue occurred on the morning of Saturday, September 26, 2020.
