Coast Guard, good Samaritans help rescue kayakers, sailors from Strait of Juan de Fuca

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Four people were rescued after their sailing vessels capsized in the Strait of Juan De Fuca Monday morning.

Multiple United States Coast Guard (USCG) crews and a few good Samaritans helped pull the boaters from the water.

A call came in around 7 a.m. that sailors had capsized during a race to Alaska event around 7:30 a.m., according to USCG Pacific Northwest. The group left Port Townsend around 5 a.m. and were headed to Victoria, British Columbia.

A USCG small rescue boat and a helicopter responded. The USCG pulled three boaters from the water and a standby safety boat rescued a fourth person. All four were taken to the hospital after showing signs of hypothermia.
