Marina Safety: Lenny’s Close Call: A Lucky Rescue After Falling into the Marina
February 4, 2025

Falling into the water at a marina can happen in an instant, and for Lenny, that moment became a life-threatening reality. In a recent interview, he shared his harrowing experience—one that could have ended very differently if not for sheer luck.
Lenny had been working on one of the boats early in the morning when he tripped on a rigging line and fell into the water. He quickly realized how difficult it was to get out. With no ladders nearby and only the edge of the dock to hold onto, the situation became critical.
Fortunately, a passerby happened to hear his calls for help and was able to pull him from the water. Without that person’s timely intervention, the outcome could have been tragic.
Lenny’s story is a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in marinas and why safety measures—such as the Man Overboard Marina Alarm System —are essential. Not everyone is lucky enough to have someone nearby when they need it most.
