An old fishing boat reports taking on water; radio contact has been lost. Not a good sign for the sea rescuers from the Norderney station of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS). On site, it becomes clear: the operation will unfold differently than originally planned. In Eckernförde Bay, the volunteer Schilksee station of the DGzRS, led by 28-year-old coxswain Marek Jacobsen, is searching for an exhausted surfer who can no longer get back on his board.
