The alert was received at 12.43pm on Monday, when the ???Epic Shikoku??? ship sighted the person in the water and notified the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center in Tarifa (Cadiz). The ???Salvamar Gadir??? rescue boat was immediately dispatched to the area, rescued the man in good health and took him to the port of Estepona. The public agency clarified that it was not a migrant or a makeshift raft, but a domestic inflatable mattress, the kind used at home for guests. The man had apparently used an oar or a similar object to propel himself through the water, although his intentions for doing so remain unknown.
