Hubby was career Navy/Coast Guard (retired). Last boat he served on was the USCG Mellon (decommissioned 8-2020). The Coast Guard Ceremonial Honor Guard performed at his funeral. So proud of our young men and women in the U.S. Coast Guard.

I always wore my military inflatable PFD when we went out on my Dad's boat. My sister and brother teased me, my response was if your child goes overboard you don't have time to put one on you go get the kid immediately. The kids wore a PFD when on deck anytime. You never know.

My 200 ton captains license probably doesn't mean anything over there, but I've got plenty of experience to offer at least. I've been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time on a few occasions in my life both on my personal boat, and on the boat I used to work on, and let me tell you 100%..the look of relief and gratitude on the faces of the people you save is worth more money than exists on planet earth. Nothing but gratitude to the people who do that stuff for a living.

Respect to the Coast Guard. I was rescued by them A few years ago when the boat I was on had the motor fail at night 20 miles offshore. Didn’t have any communication but we left info with people on shore I told him to call the Coast Guard if we didn’t get them by certain time.. About midnight sure enough helicopter shows up. A few hours later the Coast Guard boat showed up and they towed us in for free! Must’ve sucked for those sailors who got woke up in the middle the night and had to hop on a boat. We got in at 5 AM after towing all night. They were pretty cool and we were lucky no charge at all or any form of documentation at all. They just said have a good night.

In UK Coastguard co-ordinate but it is the Volunteers of the RNLI that carry out the search and rescue. they would have put pumps aboard and towed back to safety of port, the only thing i see here that is different is it would have cost zero for the boat owner and a stiff word from Coastguard, thus getting back to my question why did USCG cutter do nothing?? apart from standby??? thus the way this panned out it was the Private tow boat which was actually the SAR unit here, and at cost to the boat owner.

[@maddierosemusic]

@@mrt7936 Yup, TowBoat US is a private contractor, it only costs $150 a year or so (depending on boat) and there is no issue with Maritime law of 'Salvage' - if Tow Boat is on scene, let them do what they are paid for. BTW, NONE of the boats I saw had any business being out in that weather. Except the Jetskis. Can't fish in that slop.

[@MrDannyVeal]

I always have a 2nd bilge pump installed on my boat and carry an extra battery operated pump. I am told I’m too cautious. A bit of prevention goes a long way, and pumps are not expensive. Happy boating!

[@FubarGuy666]

Danny Veal Not too cautious at all. Like you, I have two automatic electric bilge pumps (with a float switch as those other automatic pumps come on and off all the damn tine which irritates the s $4! 7 out of me). Plus like you carry a spare battery and leads plus a spare pump with a long hose. Never needed the latter for me but it has saved two friends boats already. Plus a bucket LOL as the low tech never lets you down and I can use it as a loo! BTW seeing as you err on the cautious side how about installing a water tight bulkhead (If you havent already) between the engine bay and the rest of the boat? I hit an unidentified submerged object while motoring at night and broke the seal where the propshaft goes through the hull. Filled with water but the bulkhead kept the water in the engine bay and I managed to reach a sandy beach to "sink". The next day fixed it with calm. No probs all part of the joys of boating. The moral of the story being you can't be too cautious. I hope your friends learn from your excellent example.

[@pgithens1]

Chances are you'd have put the VHF antenna up and made sure it worked before you left the dock too.

[@xxturbowesxx]

A boat this size has at least 2 thru hulls and if one of those lets go no over the counter bilge pump is going to be able to keep the boat floating. Can't hurt to have as many as possible but it's also a smart idea to have an emergency plug. All different types exist and it's worth looking into. When a boat this size is taking on water it's usually that or a raw water cooling hose busting/leak.

[@kenprevatt1267]

It doesn’t matter how many millions of ‘cents’ you have in your cheque book, you can’t buy any amount of ‘Sea Sense’ with it!

[@mosipd]

A number of years ago I was fueling up at a local marina when a bunch of guys pull up in a 26 foot Proline with a 55 gallon drum in the cockpit. Right before we leave, one of them yells over to us asking how to get to the ocean. I already had an uneasy feeling seeing that fuel drum, and when they asked how to get to the ocean I wrote down the name of the boat. It was early morning and we were on our way out to the canyon. Just as we passed the 20 fathom line, I heard the CG trying to contact a vessel in distress. Sure enough, it was the same guys I saw earlier at the fuel dock. The story I heard was that "Hacksaw" went down and these guys had no GPS and no way to relay their position. It was only through the help of a party boat out there fishing that they were rescued.

[@oledahammer8393]

On big water, I would always have a PLB like many private pilots also have. A last resort, but you set that off and it sends your exact GPS coordinates to NOAA and sets of the klaxons. Our son does remote mountain "hiking" to 10-12K feet and some kayaking on the Great Lakes (Superior and Michigan). We bought him one for peace of mind. That PLB can be the difference between life and death. Really good ones are only $250.00, waterproof, float, etc.....no brainer!

[@mikel9567]

They are good, but you are grossly misinformed about them. They don't notify NOAA or any other government agency. They notify the monitoring company who in turn notifies the appropriate agency. There has been numerous documented problems with them. I would still highly recommend them though, but like any other piece of safety gear, they aren't without their faults / limitations. Always pack redundant gear.

[@lovejetfuel4071]

If they were taking on alot of water, trust me they would have sunk within minutes or would have been towed back with the boat 50% lower in the water, they might have had a small through hull leak that incapacitated the engines somehow and everyone panicked, thats why its good to have a manual bilge pump along side your electric bilge pump.

The problem must had been there just not discovered. This can happen to the best of us.. My Boston Whaler Conquest 34 took on water through my live well simultaneously my pump out. This happen due to an upgrade and boat shop didn't test.. Thankfully close to a sand bar and I ran the boat up on to it and saved us. Figured what it was took care it on the spot. Waited 6 hours for high tide and with another boats help to push me off and made it back we took showers in the boat and went out to eat in Captiva. Me and my family were so Blessed ✝️

[@ghzkhz1770]

When do I need a Look-out? According to Rule 5, all vessels are responsible for maintaining a proper look-out at all times - this includes one-man crews, unmanned crafts, and recreational boats. The term look-out implies watching and listening so that he/she is aware of what is happening around the vessel. The emphasis is on performing the action, not on the person. Still, in all but the smallest vessels, the lookout is expected to be an individual who is not the helmsman and is usually located in the forward part of the boat, away from the distractions and noises of the bridge. While no specific location on a vessel is prescribed for the lookout, good navigation requires placement at the point best suited for the purpose of hearing and observing the approach of objects likely to be brought into collision with the vessel. The size of the vessel and crew effect this answer, however, the emphasis in every legal decision points to the need for a proper, attentive look-out. While the use of radar to evaluate the situation is implied in the requirement to use all available means, that is still understood to be secondary to maintaining a look-out by sight and hearing.

[@arty4308]

They should practice controlling their boat in their pool first b4 getting out in real waters.

[@indupacs.a.6215]

I wonder why the police and rescue boat only had one person on board ? How can they handle a rescue with efficiency?

[@fhuber7507]

Showing up with a floating boat is a help to the guy who had his boat sink.

[@Mardasee]

I haven't boated for decades. Do boaters carry emergency flare kits anymore? Back in my days no emergency flares no boating.

[@anthonynicholson8062]

I am no boater, but I would at least have had some flares and smoke signals on board to help others locate you should you run into distress.

[@MrTchou]

Flares are mandatory on a boat

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

PFDs and flares are rquired by law where I live.

[@MrKenlong]

This sad/funny.but when I was in C.G. were doing the search and tow. WOW one call and every cop FD GOT PLAY

[@BOATSNAPS]

Ken Long lot of tax dollars.

[@rebelliousmedic]

Badass seeing the Cutter out there.

[@christownsend6210]

Thanks USCG for laying it on the line for anyone.

[@BOATSNAPS]

For sure

[@peterjames2004]

how does this work ..hes been salvaged by pro salvegers does he have to purchase the boat back from them or just pay a tow fee ,,does it make a difference if there are people on the boat or not

[@lmramos44]

Excellent Video. Period.

[@BOATSNAPS]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FubarGuy666]

PFD is an acronym for People Forget Dem

[@notworthit1096]

I'm not the best navigator but damn those first responder are hopping around like bunnies.

[@theemijo1552]

I do not own a boat as of yet, however, this has taught me to never leave my VHF antenna folded. Thank you. No clue how you got recommend.

[@BOATSNAPS]

Cool!

[@friesm2000]

especially depending on how far out you go. make sure to get an epirb too, especially if you do have to abandon ship

[@jbreefer148]

Shout out to the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to save others.

[@jonrd463]

Pilots do a pre-flight check of all systems before even starting the motor. There's no reason why the same can't be done for boats. Always, always check comms if you're going offshore. Create a checklist and make sure the damned VHF antenna is up and a comms check is at the top of the list. Not only did this captain put his passengers at risk, he put the responders at risk by having them go all over creation trying to find them because his antenna was down.

[@justanotherguy3850]

I didn't want to go into the antenna being laid down. I already mentioned the poor quality of the audio is if a microphone has been stuck up next to a speaker with the volume turned up too high. There's actually an easier and more effective way to get audio to the video. On the other hand, Mariners are like CB radio operators Betty times and talk is iftar on the CB radio munching the microphone. Hold it 3-6 in away and talk in a normal voice. And yes, have your antenna up. 55 years as an amateur radio extra class has taught me a great deal. I'm happy to share it in a pleasant way when asked.

[@crashj]

Being towed back in and still not using PFD!

[@BOATSNAPS]

Shaking my head

[@stacy3633]

@Bill Williams they ain't from Florida dumbass . We know how to launch a goddam boat and keep it afloat and talk on the frickin radio

[@pookatim]

@@stacy3633 According to the markings on the rear of the boat as it heads out, it is from North Miami Florida. So...

[@eldiablo8019]

1:30 female on the radio " Did I understand that all three people weren't wearing life jackets ? " " OF COURSE NOT "

[@jackieandedp.4688]

That FWC at 4:27, had no business going out there in that little (looks like 22-24 ft) boat. In the meantime, there were criminals taking poor little Sheeps under 12 inches and doing it with impunity.

[@glennarmstrong7891]

Great effort by all involved in rescue. My only concern was the number of Police boats with only one person on board. Surely the minimum should be two. One to pilot the boat and one to assist anyone in the water.

[@pault5947]

May Day boat must've been transporting doughnuts. How many vessels to attend one call?

[@TrappedinSLC]

Paul T I think it’s because they had no coordinates so needed to search? Dunno about the ones who turned up after they were located.

[@pault5947]

Thank goodness for fire rescue and law enforcement….being there when people need them.

Welcome. We have a lot more.

[@mikeramsey9747]

Wow, no EPRIB, No GPS, Lousy Radio, boat owner probably saying safety not compromised.

[@BOATSNAPS]

yep

[@TheAlnice2g]

C.G. should give them multiple violations!! That captain has put NOT ONLY his passengers, but every first responder going out there to help!

[@railroad9000]

Law enforcement or the CG should do a safety boarding. I'll bet they find many unsafe conditions.

[@rjr-yp9uj]

I'm amazed how many boats go out with the vhf antenna down.

[@Rabbinicphilosophyforthewin]

SO glad they “got ‘em de-watered” 9:20. Otherwise that could’ve been serious.

[@newstart49]

Always a good idea to check that bilge for smells like oil or gasoline and for water BEFORE you start engines- after you start engines and cast off!!

[@jacktextor]

I religiously raise my VHF antenna before each departure.

[@BOATSNAPS]

jacktextor Good job.

[@davidhoffman1278]

You have an abandon ship bag with a water resistant marine band radio, smoke flares?
