❑ TRADUÇÃO - TEXTO:

Five stranded snorkellers rescued from tiny island off Australia after their huge SOS message was spotted by helicopter.

Cinco mergulhadores encalhados foram resgatados de uma pequena ilha ao largo da Austrália depois de a sua enorme mensagem de SOS ter sido detectada por um helicóptero.

   

Five snorkellers stranded on a tiny island off the east coast of Australia have been rescued after scrawling a giant SOS message into a nearby sandbank.

Cinco mergulhadores encalhados numa pequena ilha ao largo da costa leste da Austrália foram resgatados depois de terem rabiscado uma mensagem SOS gigante num banco de areia próximo.

The group had been stuck out at sea for more than nine hours after their boat's anchor failed and it drifted away.

O grupo ficou preso no mar durante mais de nove horas, depois de a âncora do barco ter falhado e este ter ficado à deriva.

They had been swimming around a remote sandbar near Wigton Island, Queensland, when the vessel started shifting - with their mobile phones, clothes, water and sunscreen all still on board – and it had moved beyond reach before they had time to react.

Estavam nadando à volta de um banco de areia remoto perto da ilha de Wigton, em Queensland, quando a embarcação começou a deslocar-se - com os telemóveis, a roupa, a água e o protetor solar ainda a bordo - e ficou fora de alcance antes de terem tempo de reagir.

Speaking to the Courier-Mail about the ordeal yesterday, Lyn Forbes-Smith described how she, a female friend and three male friends were facing the prospect of a long, cold night surrounded by ocean when they finally spotted an approaching rescue helicopter.

Falando ontem ao Courier-Mail sobre a provação, Lyn Forbes-Smith descreveu como ela, uma amiga e três amigos estavam a enfrentar a perspetiva de uma noite longa e fria rodeados pelo oceano quando finalmente avistaram um helicóptero de salvamento que se aproximava.

"We had sort of made plans about what we'd do on the rock for the evening," she said.

"Tínhamos feito planos sobre o que iríamos fazer no rochedo durante a noite", disse ela.

"We had reef walkers on thankfully, but we had no food, water, cream, no hats, not much at all. We just looked for the highest ground, we looked for rocks where five of us could huddle together because we didn’t really want to separate, and we wanted to be out of the wind as best as possible."

"Felizmente, tínhamos camas de recife, mas não tínhamos comida, água, cremes, chapéus, nada de especial. Procurámos apenas o terreno mais alto, procuramos rochas onde cinco de nós pudéssemos amontoar-nos porque não queríamos separar-nos e queríamos estar o mais longe possível do vento."

Ms Forbes-Smith explained that they were concerned the sandbar – and their message – would go under with the tide, but that they were “reasonably confident” someone would come looking when friends realised they had not returned.

A Sra. Forbes-Smith explicou que estavam preocupados com o facto de o banco de areia - e a sua mensagem - se afundar com a maré, mas que estavam "razoavelmente confiantes" de que alguém viria procurar quando os amigos se apercebessem de que não tinham regressado.

The group had set off from Keswick Island towards Wigton Island at around 8am for the snorkelling trip, and it was around 5pm when they first saw signs of help approaching.

O grupo tinha partido da ilha de Keswick em direção à ilha de Wigton por volta das 8h00 para a viagem de mergulho e foi por volta das 17h00 que viram pela primeira vez sinais de ajuda aproximando-se.

Another member of the group, Craig Gilbert, told ABC News of their joy at spotting an RACQ rescue helicopter.

Outro membro do grupo, Craig Gilbert, contou à ABC News a sua alegria ao avistar um helicóptero de salvamento da RACQ.

"We saw the helicopter and we thought, 'Oh, you beauty' - and then it disappeared and we thought, 'Oh no - we better look out for our beds for the night' - then it came back probably 20 minutes later,” he said.

"Vimos o helicóptero e pensamos: 'Oh, beleza' - e depois desapareceu e pensamos: 'Oh não - é melhor procurarmos as nossas camas para passar a noite' - e depois voltou provavelmente 20 minutos depois", disse.

Rescue helicopter crew member Damien Kross said the five were treated for sunburn and dehydration, but were otherwise “fine”.

Damien Kross, membro da tripulação do helicóptero de resgate, disse que os cinco foram tratados por queimaduras solares e desidratação, mas que estavam "bem".

"They were a little bit dehydrated but we winched them to safety and brought them back here [to Mackay on the mainland] for just to have a quick medical attention and they were all fine."

"Eles estavam um pouco desidratados, mas içámo-los para um local seguro e trouxemo-los para aqui [para Mackay, no continente] para receberem uma rápida assistência médica e ficaram todos bem."
