Thanks to a distress call from persons who were concerned that two males did not return to the Christmas Creek Marina in Jekyll Island in Georgia on Saturday evening. When the officers at the United States Coast Guard (USCG) in Savannah Georgia answered the emergency call to search for the two men who were in the water when their 16 foot boat capsized.in the water four miles away from Jekyll Island. The two male boaters were rescued by a helicopter who then were seen by medical personnel on Sunday morning. Both male bothers are in good condition after the medical exam. Another outstanding rescue by members of the USCG. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/us...

It must be quite tricky to rescue men from a boat with a helicopter. They are lucky people to be saved.

Helicopter rescues of persons in the water are very tricky.

I am glad they were rescued it is not good to be in cold water for that long.

Glad they were rescued but looks like people who are not professional boaters should stay off the water,
