Search and Rescue, Flats Boat in 12 foot seas, 7000 miles

Cross The Atlantic voyage. After 7,000 miles in the open ocean this flats boat gets caught in 12 foot seas more than 40 miles from shore between the Shetland Islands and the Orkney Islands in the North Sea. Video taken by Her Majesty's Search and Rescue helicopter after they heard about a flats boat in giant waves. After a few minutes they figured out that this vessel was fine and left.

The back ground is both. It was a new type of boat built to both run in extreme shallow water and handle rough seas. It was also a chance to keep a promise made to the five US Air Force Crewmembers (These guys should have gotten a medal of Honor), and the three US Marines who gave their lives trying to rescue the hostages in the American Embassy in Iran.

that's awsome and stupid at the same time

I know it might seem stupid to many people but not to the families of the men that gave their all in Operation Eagle Claw, who the voyage used the publicity to honor.

Great stuff lads.

Brass balls and all that!

Really if you had been on the boat you would not have thought it was that big of a deal.

That Dream Boats Intruder 21 was a great boat.
