NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard rescued three people from an aground sailboat near Fort Morgan, Ala., on April 2. Coast Guard Sector Mobile received a call from Baldwin County Emergency Communications Center at 7:37 p.m. on April 1 reporting an aground 47-foot sailboat beset by severe weather and without power and with three people aboard. The CG directed the launch of a CG Station Dauphin Island, Ala., response boat and crew, a CG Aviation Training Center Mobile MH-65 Dolphin helicopter, and CG Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin helicopter and crew to assist. The Dauphin Island crew arrived on scene, but was unable to access the aground vessel due to water depth. The New Orleans helicopter crew arrived on scene, safely hoisted the three people and transported them back to Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley in Mobile, Ala., where emergency medical services evaluated them for further medical care. No medical concerns were reported. (Source: Coast Guard 04/02/21)
