As searches to find the 37-year-old lifeguard who disappeared in the sea of Madeira, on Sunday, were resumed today at 7:32, said the captain of Porto do Funchal.
In statements to the agency Lusa, Bruno Teles said that this operation involves a life-saving station vessel with two crew members by sea and members of Funchal's Captaincy by land.
“ The searches will extend during the day or until found ", said this responsible.
The missing man is a lifeguard of a hotel unit in Funchal and, according to Bruno Teles, “possibly he will have been dragged to sea”.
The searches, in which a Portuguese Air Force aircraft was used, were interrupted at 6.11 on Sunday.
The Port of Funchal Captaincy has, however, prolonged the warning of strong maritime agitation for the coast of Madeira until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, with waves in the order of 4.5 meters on the southern coast of Madeira.
