A lucky swimmer has been reunited with her Garmin sports watch that was lost at sea after it was found floating 150 miles away.

Martina Morgan was with her friends when she noticed her timepiece secured to a flotation device had come loose.

Her pals persuaded her to let it go despite her wanting to swim after it as it drifted out to sea.

It was in a small bay called Ladies Cove near Waterford, south east Ireland.

He used the info on the device to track down Martina who is a keen watersports adventurer, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Sean said: “I found the watch attached to an inflated buoyancy aid on a remote part of the shore on the Copper Coast in Waterford.

“Martina had become disconnected from her swimming aid while swimming at her local beach in Tenby.

“She made the right decision not to try to retrieve the aid as it drifted away from her.

“Thankfully she was able to make it safely back to the shore.

“Her lost items then embarked on an epic three week solo voyage.

“I was able to get in contact with Martina and her husband Ed and the watch will be making the return journey in an envelope this time.

“I was really thrilled to have located them.”

Martina added: “I am very grateful to Sean.

“I will carry on swimming with it.

“It’s the easiest way to record where you have been and what distance you have done.”

Ed, who took the call from Sean, couldn’t believe it.

He said: “I wasn’t expecting to see the watch again.

“It was even more surprising to get a call about it from Ireland.”
