Thanks to the persons who are with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) located in Puget Sound Washington state on Sunday evening who answered an emergency call from either an eyewitness or one of the boaters who were on a rowboat on the Hood Canal.
Thanks to the teamwork of a boatcrew from Seattle and, an aircrew from Port Angeles who were aboard a MH 65 Dolphin came to rescue the two boaters who struggled to manuever their rowboat in high winds and strong currents who were rescued by a diver who hoisted the two boaters whose gender was not released or their names to a helicopter to get them out of the water.
The two boaters were taken to Bremerton National Airport where they are in stable condition.
I am sure that two boaters will think twice before roaring boats in rough seas in the future.

@RubyHawk I am sure that the Coast Guard officers told the boater to be careful since they may not be so lucky next time to be rescued.

I respect them as well since they are guardians of people in need who get into accidents in the sea.

I guess some boaters think they are going to live forever daring to enter rough waters.

I have always thought that people with boats are reckless. If you are a good boater you always check the weather, Anyway glad they got rescued,

That is the message the television personalities have been trying to tell their viewers when bad weather is bad in their area.

The USCG are the best at saving lives of persons who need help at sea.
