A Ski paddle boarder is thanking his lucky stars after getting into trouble yesterday.
Around 9 am yesterday morning the Westpac Rescue chopper was tasked to reports of a man missing in waters between Catherine Hill Bay and Blacksmiths Beach.
After commencing their search at Swansea Heads the team located a man in his sixties on rocks and winched him to safety.
He sustained minor injuries and was returned to shore.
