NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard medically evacuated two mariners from a vessel taking on water near Lake Pontchartrain, north of New Orleans on April 1. Coast Guard Sector New Orleans received a report from a Good Samaritan at 11:47 a.m., reporting a half-submerged 20-foot recreational vessel with two people aboard waving their arms. The CG launched a CG Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew and a CG Station New Orleans response boat crew.
