Man, Woman, and Dog Rescued from Boat 90 miles from Florida

Saved by the Jacket

The Coast Guard pulled two people and their dog to safety Sunday by helicopter, all caught in a dramatic video. A couple’s sailboat was 90 miles off Hernando Beach, Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico when a wave knocked out a porthole. Water poured in and sloshed inside the boat, short-circuiting several electronics systems. The Coast Guard in St. Petersburg received an automated distress call or “digital selective calling alert” from the boat at about 11 a.m. The couple and their dog were all wearing a life jacket that kept them safe while waiting for help.
