Heard the report over the radio, 4 in the water, all recovered safely by a nearby private vessel. Coast Guard on scene 20 min or so after the call.

Seems like they might have had a run in with Sow and Pigs given that the recovering vessel initially reported concerns about water depth preventing them from reaching the people in the water

I went by there yesterday and it always gets my respect.

Looks like it was a 47’.... damn!

After seeing this it peaked my intrest in an epirb. Device for the boat more like the personal size then I saw a comment on the cost of a rescue if needed. And a suggestion to get a Rescue Response Insurance Plan..


Any ideas what such a rescue would cost? The salvage part and environmental part aside?

I only heard the CG side of the vhf conversation... there were quite a few incidents going on yesterday. Sundays always brings out the noobs

Wind was def above what they predicted and anyone who knows, knows that corner of cutty is a death sentence if you don’t know what your doing. I’m inland quite a ways and today’s winds have been close to 10 mph above what was stated

Gift him a hand held vhf.

But also in his defense, cellphones are actually more helpful if you are dry in your boat than a vhf. And if he only goes hour during gentleman’s hours, nav lights are not needed.
