Emergencies - Navy ship rescues family on SUP off Rügen

A German Navy ship rescued a woman with two children on a Stand-Up-Paddle-Board (SUP) from the sea. The woman from Saxony had taken her nine and ten-year-old children with her on a SUP from Dranske on Rügen towards the island of Hiddensee on a late Monday evening around 10 pm, as the police reported on Tuesday. There, she apparently intended to spend the night with her children on the beach and make the return journey the next day.

Due to the current, mother and children were driven towards the open sea. No one wore a life jacket. The Navy ship "Lachs" noticed the danger and rescued the small family on the SUP. They were taken on board a lifeboat and brought to Hiddensee. In the early morning hours of Tuesday, they returned to Dranske. According to the police, the children were slightly hypothermic. A report was filed against the mother for suspected negligent bodily harm.
