Relatively easy job, just didn’t realize there were 2 traps, the second started dragging pulling the only one I saw (that was in the boat) into the Bimini. Just went slow to safer water, and fixed it so I could plane the boat off
Taken from the MCSO Sheriff’s page on this vessel..
MCSO MARINE UNIT DEPUTIES RESCUE TWO PEOPLE FROM SINKING VESSEL
Another night of choppy waters and high winds may have been the reason this 15ft skiff began taking on water last night. It happened in the intercoastal waterway near Island Way. Two men were on board when the vessel began to sink.
MCSO's Marine Unit deputies who were patrolling the waters were able to rescue both men before the boat became completely submerged. Fortunately no one was injured.

People always say we have the best job in the world...but those beautiful days on the water are what make up for us having to go out on days like this! Great job capt!

Footage was good, but the narration was hard to do in the wind. Newer videos I'll use an external mic to help with the audio!

Nicely done! What's the boat brand?

@CaptainRetriever 7 ай бұрын

The sunk boat is a Rogue according to the captain, and our boat is a Silvership out of Mobile Alabama.

Outstanding salvage work, but.... just not a smart decision by the boatowner to be out in choppy water in a 15ft boat.

Damn, that boat just does not want to stay afloat.

That water kept pouring over the back with almost none on the deck, I had to keep it moving & use my electric pump.

That RIB is great to step on and off from the side using the pontoons(?) . I had never seen that .

@CaptainRetriever 7 ай бұрын

yes, super low sides, great for water rescues

@kenwphoto 7 ай бұрын

It’s not an RIB because the pontoons are not inflatable but are solid foam.

Does 911 connect you to the USCG? I always carry an extra hand held VHF with GPS just in case... Been a member of TowBoatUS for the past >30 years...only had to call em once for a tow. That one tow made up for all the years I was a member. 👍👍👍

@CaptainRetriever 7 ай бұрын

I’m sure they do, the dispatcher probably gets a few quick questions in too. Those 911 calls from condo tenants & missing person reports etc get relayed on the VHF by coast guard.

That would have been one expensive tow without the membership

@CaptainRetriever 7 ай бұрын

Memberships won’t cover sunk boats. Salvages can be anywhere from $100-300 a foot depending on difficulty.. Insurance will cover the recovery, and with full coverage the damages/replacement.
