A recreational boat hit rocks and sank early on Saturday morning near Baleeira, Sagres - the sole occupant had to be rescued by lifeboat.
The boat had just left the port and was bound for Sesimbra, but instead of turning right, steered in the opposite direction. It was not long before the boat hit the rocks near Martinhal according to a baffled Carvalho Pinto, the noble commander of the port of Lagos.
