| On Saturday morning, the Coast Guard got a call from a sailboat that had just entered the ship canal from the lake and had lost power in very choppy water. The Coast Guard’s 25 foot response boat was on security patrol in the harbor and answered the call. At 10:52, they were under the bridge and approaching the sailboat. Crew members threw two lines to the sailboat and set up a side tow. At 10:53, they were securing the lines (above). At 10:55, they were away from the piers. Four local reservists, on weekend duty, were on the Coast Guard boat at the time. Above left, is MK3 John Williams and on the right is MKC Jeffery Menze. |
