Coast Guard rescues boater in Gulf of Alaska
Summary
A Coast Guard rescue swimmer from Air Station Sitka uses a cross chest carry to bring the master of the sailboat Etak to the rescue basket to be hoisted into the MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter hovering over the Gulf of Alaska 200 miles northwest of Sitka, April 9, 2013. The Coast Guard responded to a 406MHz beacon set off by the master of the vessel when his vessel lost power in 30-mph winds and 15-foot seas. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Air Station Sitka)
