I am sure that the five persons who were aboard a 38 foot vessel named "Wanderful Life": was moored in Cape Lookout in North Carolina on Friday evening when they felt odd that the sea was getting rough due to the effects of Tropical Storm Ophelia was coming down toward them.
The captain of the vessel called for help from his cellphone. The officers of the United States Coast Guard from Fort Macon answered the call for help and sent a ship to the Lookout Bight Channel to rescue the couple who had three children on board the vessel to rescue them safely from harm.
Hopefully the captain of the vessel will learn his lesson that when a tropical storm warning is issued, obey the law and stay off the rough seas.

I'm glad that the USCG came to the rescue again. Maybe they won't go out on the water again when it's harzardous.

Hopefully the captain of the vessel and his passengers learned their lesson since law enforcement officials have gone on record as saying that they cannot rescue anybody during a storm at all until after the storm passes.

Some people are useless & have little consideration for others by ignoring warnings. Putting not only their lives in danger but also others.

That is very true since law enforcement officer have issued warnings that they cannot and will not risk their lives to rescue anyone during a storm at all.

I am in agreement with you that the U S Coast Guard are their angels.

There are some people who like to take risks that are not in their favor.
