CroatiaSeven members of the HGSS (Hydrographic Surveying Service of Gospić) participated in a nighttime rescue operation to save a foreign national who was carried by a strong current along the SUP (Surfboard) channel from Karlobag across the Vrbik Channel to the island of Pag. The incident occurred on Thursday at 10 PM, with the man located on inaccessible shores of Galaita Bay. His location was determined thanks to his mobile phone signal, which he had sent. The rescue team returned to base at 5 AM. The HGSS warns that conditions on the Vrbik Channel can change rapidly, and that currents, kayaks, or small vessels can quickly carry people away from the shore. They advise checking weather forecasts, assessing personal capabilities, informing someone of planned routes and return times, and carrying a water-resistant phone. They recommend staying on the board and calling 112 if in similar situations.
