One man is uninjured after his boat capsized off the coast of Victoria at Ogden Point on Friday morning when he was rescued by a passing boat.
Five local men who had chartered a fishing boat for a bachelor party were surprised to find the boat in trouble at the mouth of Victoria Harbour. They went over to help and pulled him out of the water before the Coast Guard arrived.
One of the party-goers, Andrew Johns, said the man, around 50 years old, wasnB次元官网网址檛 wearing a lifejacket.
