Boat crew rescued near Barnegat Light
BARNEGAT LIGHT, N.J. - August 13, 2008
The crew of the Made to Sea were fishing Wednesday on the
western edge of the Hudson Canyon when the boat began taking on
water and its pump stopped working.
The crew members were able to board their life raft and were
picked up by the crew of the Fat Cat about 30 minutes later.
A Coast Guard officer noted that while the Made to Sea crew was
not able to activate their Electronic Position Indicating Radio
Beacon before they left the boat, they took a hand-held radio and
life jackets which allow the rescue go smoothly.
