NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard rescued three overdue boaters on Feb. 22 from a disabled fishing vessel near Breton Sound, La., about 10 miles SSE of New Orleans. The Coast Guard received a report of an overdue 26-foot commercial fishing vessel at 8 p.m. after the boat missed its scheduled arrival at Hopedale Marina. The CG launched a Venice-based Response Boat and crew, a New Orleans-based MH-60 Jayhawk aircrew and a Mobile, Ala.-based HC-144 Ocean Sentry to search. The Ocean Sentry aircrew located the disabled vessel adrift in the Breton Sound and directed the boatcrew that embarked the trio aboard and transported them back to Station Venice. All three were last reported to be in stable condition. (Coast Guard 02/23/23)
