The Coast Guard helped three people aboard a disabled fishing
vessel after it began taking on water 67 miles south of Cape San Blas last
Thursday.
The
Coast Guard was called to assist the 50-foot fishing vessel Solo which was
taking on water.
The
Coast Guard Cutter Seahawk, as well as a Jayhawk helicopter crew and a fixed
wing aircraft crew were sent to assist.
A
Navy Helicopter crew also deployed from Panama City.
The
Coast Guard helicopter crew dropped a dewatering pump and lowered a rescue
swimmer to assist the crew with dewatering.
The
Coast Guard Cutter Seahawk placed the Solo in tow and transported them to St.
Andrews Marina in Panama City.
There
were no reported injuries.
