U.S. Coast Guard rescuers from Mobile were involved in a daring rescue over the weekend while training in Oregon, with footage showing a cabin cruiser rolled by heavy storm swells as a rescue swimmer moves toward it.
As it happened, that helicopter crew consisted mostly of visitors from Mobile’s U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Training Center. The report from the rescuers said that “On scene personnel communicated with the distressed mariner and learned that the vessel was taking on water. On scene conditions were reported to be 20-foot seas and extremely high windspeeds.”
