A man who was stranded at sea for days is said to be “serious but stable condition”, while two others are missing following a boating accident in or near BVI waters recently.

This is according to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force’s (RVIPF) Information Unit who told our news centre on Saturday (November 26) that the man was rescued from an overturned vessel found drifting south of Virgin Gorda today.

“He reported that the boat had overturned with three men aboard some time on Tuesday,” the police told BVI News. “The two others are missing”.

The RVIPF further told our news centre that all three are believed to be residents of St Maarten.

It is not yet clear what caused the boating accident nor is it clear whether the vessel in question was already in BVI waters at the time of the ill-fated incident.

BVI News will provide more information as it becomes available.

    Wondering why it has been concluded that this was an accident. Why do they know for certain that there was no more and no less than 2 more passengers and that both perished.
    They taking the word of the lone survivor in this the waters of coke as gospel.
    They must have evidence for certain,of course.
