I know what you mean since it is scary to be a boat that is lost at sea.

Glad the Coast Guard was so alert but it seems these boat rescues are getting ridiculous,

At least, they could cling to the overturned boat, which did not sink, and it was fortunate that the Coast Guard responded quickly to rescue the 3 persons, who would have experienced quite a frightening experience there, to be dumped, stranded, in the water, miles from land.

Wearing a life jacket when onboard a vessel is must.
