A fisherman died early this morning (October 28) after the boat he was on capsized near Armona Island, off the coast of Olhão.
A second fisherman was plucked from the waters and is now recovering, ‘out of danger’.
The news, confirmed by Olhão ports captain Nunes Ferreira, follows strong south-easterly winds and waves which appear to have blown the men’s boat against the Armona sandbank. An investigation is now underway.
Both men, in their 40s, had set out from the port of Olhão.
