When fishing 14 miles off Land's End a 30 year old crewman on the Ocean Spray was thrown overboard as the boat shot it's last tier of nets. The skipper quickly came astern and, with the help of the crew retrieved the fisherman who suffered crush injuries, a Culdrose SAR helicopter was called. However, with a heavy swell running it was decided to allow the injured man to be taken off by the Penlee lifeboat and the helicopter returned to its base at the air staion.
