Coast Guard rescues two off Cape San Blas

                        The Coast guard on Monday rescued two fishermen from their grounded vessel about two miles south of Cape San Blas.
Just before 8 o’clock Monday morning Coast Guard Sector Mobile received a report that the 45 foot fishing vessel the “AC III” was grounded about two miles south of Cape San Blas and began listing to its port side.
The AC III crew attempted to refloat the grounded vessel without success.
A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter was sent to the scene.

By 10:40 in the morning they were able to safely hoist the fishermen and transfer them to Panama City International Airport.
