The farewell of the wife of 35-year-old Christos who died tragically in the sea area of Agia Pelagia while fishing with three friends is heartbreaking.
The 35-year-old amateur fisherman who lost his life was married and had two children.
"Have a good trip my husband, my support, father of my children, wherever you go… We will always have you in our hearts! So unjustly, So suddenly, when we needed you most, have a good trip my love! As much as we did not manage to talk, as much as we did not manage to do together, so many dreams that are lost. Always find time to talk and spend more time together… », mentions in her post the widow of 35-year-old Christos.
How the tragic accident happened
According to information from cretapost.gr, the unfortunate man went this morning with three of his friends to fish in Agia Pelagia. They went to a steep rocky spot in Alykies and threw their reeds.
Shortly after 12 noon, the 35-year-old's rod slipped from his hands and fell into the sea. In his attempt to catch it, he lost his balance and fell into the water, while possibly hitting the rocks. His 27-year-old friend dived to save him while the 30-year-old did the same. The fourth of the company that remained on land called 100, which in turn informed the Coast Guard.
A fishing boat that was in the area, a diving boat and two patrol boats of the Greek Navy rushed to the spot. EKAB were at the scene and received the two men in a state of shock and with obvious signs of hypothermia at the University General Hospital of Heraklion.

", said the wife of an injured man speaking to cretapost. "The four of them have been friends for years and often go fishing. So it was today. They got up in the morning and went to Alykes to fish. We still do not realize what has happened ", stressed in this regard.
