[Rhodes22-list] be careful out there

[BenCittadino]

The following tantalizingly sparse (AP) story was carried in local papers
today.

"OCEAN CITY — A passing vessel and a Coast Guard crew rescued six people who
were aboard two sailboats that overturned in rough waters off southern New
Jersey.

No injuries were reported in the incident, which occurred around 4 p.m.
Saturday in the area of the Ocean Drive Bridge near Ocean City.

The six — who were all wearing life jackets — were tossed from the sailboats
after winds in the area grew stronger and made the seas more turbulent.
However, they were soon spotted by crew members aboard the Legal Holiday,
who came to their aid and notified Coast Guard Station Great Egg.

Three victims were soon pulled aboard a Coast Guard rescue boat, while the
others were rescued by the Legal Holiday crew. The six were taken to the
Ocean City Yacht Club."

The lesson is WEAR YOUR PFD. TWO??? boats! What the heck happened?
