NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard rescued three boaters that ran aground in the evening of Jan. 16 near Hopedale, La. The CG received notification of an 18-foot flat bottom boat had run aground due to sudden changes in water depth due to a winter weather system. The CG launched a CG Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin that hoisted the trio aboard and transported them to the Hopedale Marina. The boaters were last reported in stable condition.
