What......don't they have rescue swimmers on the those Coast Guard boats ..........I see 6 guy's or gal's picking there noses, they can't go over the side instead of all this Helo drama ? Wow...................

[captdevo2]

Why all the drama.........just pull along side and grab them one at a time already any Coxain worth his weight in silver would of wrapped this up in a few minutes. This turned into a long practice drill for the Helo Crew..........just embarasing to watch. Notice the last guy over could of almost of jumped right aboard ??? Well all tured out OK but in the end there are good Coxain's and not so good Coxain's. Ya I no it was too rough .....ya right.............
