Default A bather has drifted out to sea from Las Galletas.

Two helicopters, a patrol boat, and the Guardia Civil are searching sea and coastline for a bather who drifted from the Las Galletas coast on a lilo earlier today. It seems that the lilo has been found around 400 metres from the coast but as yet there is no sign of the bather.

That is very sad news indeed, lets hope its a happy outcome.

When will people learn about Lilo's, the wind and the Sea.

If you want to use a lilo, ONLY do so in a swimming pool - they are just not safe for anywhere else.

They've resumed the search today, but no sighting as yet

The word they used yesterday was "flotero" ... which could be anything really from a rubber ring to a small inflatable canoe type thing, but today they've used "colchoneta" which is definitely a Lilo.
