    While out today this arrived in my inbox as notification from a forum I occasionally use. The Los Gigantes Message Board.

    At around 3pm this afternoon a motor cruiser with 6 passengers on board was caught in high waves off the Lido, Los Gigantes.

    Eye witnesses claim that 4 people jumped and swam out to sea, but 2 people were still on board when a large wave swept the boat onto the rocks. Further waves quickly destroyed the boat and it sank.

    The 4 who jumped were picked up by jet skis. Three appeared ok and were taken by ambulance to hospital. The 4th was still being resuscitated 45 mins later.

    Just seen the way others are reporting this incident. Janet Anscombe News in the Sun and Europa Press You will probably need your Google translate turned on for this last one.
