After a fishing vessel sighted “unmanned paddleboards drifting” the RBR Coast Guard attended the scene and found “three unmanned drifting paddleboards” which had apparently “gone missing after drifting free from a property at Ely’s Harbour.”

A Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre spokesperson said, “Sunday 17th July, 7:20am – Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre received a call on marine VHF radio, from an outbound sports fishing vessel, which has sighted two unmanned paddleboards drifting, approximately 1.8nm NW of Commissioners Point.

“The RBR Coast Guard were requested to attend the scene, and upon doing so confirmed finding three unmanned drifting paddleboards, some with paddles and towels onboard.

“The paddle boards were recovered to RBR at Scenic House and the marine area was searched with no persons sighted in the vicinity. Subsequently the owner of 3 missing paddleboards called Bermuda Radio, advising they had gone missing after drifting free from a property at Ely’s Harbour.”
