A boater was very lucky on Saturday afternoon off Pleubian in the Côtes-d'Armor.
While he was sailing alone in his speedboat, the man would have made a bad maneuver with his fuel, reports

A fire then broke out on his boat before the engine suddenly exploded.
Luckily, the yachtsman has had time to jump on rocks and find refuge on the islet located at the foot of the Héaux lighthouse.
The rescuers at sea from the SNSM station in Pleubian intervened a few moments later to rescue him.
Very shocked, the victim comes out with simple injuries to his hand.
The sailor on the other hand said goodbye to his boat.
