THe coast guard was a site for sore eyes.. we did not know that they had been called. ROb died before we could get that info... they had been looking and were on Recovery- not rescue at that point.. had to send for the hellis and divers...
THANK YOU strangers.... I was one of the crew on the Northern Belle... IT was 1.5 years ago and tonight I finally am able to watch this... Thank you for the kind words to Captain Rob etc. The coast guard was a site for sore eyes- at the time we were not sure that they had been alerted and we had lost the life raft ect. nearest boat was 18 hours behind us and there was a storm coming up- thanks for careing- Nicole Esau Crew (the gal green horn)
@peuterschmidt It means what do you need before both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft are launched. Consider that if they launch unnecessarily, not only does this waste a ridiculous amount of fuel, aircraft endurance and money, but endangers anyone else who might need those rescue assets more.
