NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard rescued two mariners from a fishing vessel taking on water three miles south of Grand Isle, La., in the early morning of March 24. CG Sector New Orleans received a notification at about 2 a.m. that the 60-foot fishing vessel P-Omo-IV was taking on water with two aboard. The CG directed the launch of a CG Station Grand Isle 45-foot medium response boat crew and a CG Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin helicopter to assist. The crews were unable to get close due to the vessel’s rigging. The fishermen donned life jackets and went into the water where the boat crew rescued both. The boat crew transported the fishermen ashore with no medical concerns. (Source: Coast Guard 03/24/21)
