Rented at the Last Minute, Emergency
Beacon From BoatUS Foundation Saves Three Lives Off California Coast
- Crew Sends Mayday Just Before Capsizing
ALAMEDA, Calif. July
8, 2010 -- The day before departing Crescent City, California, on
July 1 for an offshore passage bound for Alameda, California, the
shore-bound father of one of three crewmembers aboard the 32-foot
catamaran sailboat Catalyst wanted to ensure his daughter was safe.
So he went to BoatUS.com/Foundation/EPIRB to rent an Emergency
Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB).
Normally costing about
$800, the BoatUS Foundation rents the life-saving units for just $65
per week. The rental program is intended to fill the short-term
safety need for occasional offshore cruisers. When activated by
immersion in water or manually by pressing a button, the units
broadcast an emergency mayday signal via satellite along with
precise location information of the vessel in distress, allowing for
a speedy rescue. A dedicated global satellite system relays 406-MHz
EPIRB distress signals to rescue stations around the world.
The last-minute rental saved all three this
past weekend when stormy seas led the crew to activate the beacon
just minutes before massive waves capsized the vessel, plunging all
three into the frigid Pacific waters 20 miles off Fort Bragg on the
Northern California coast.
On Saturday July 4
with winds gusting past 50 mph and seas treacherous, the three crew
- two men in their 40s and a woman of unknown age - activated the
EPIRB at about 12:44 p.m. Soon after, 15-to-20-foot waves knocked
the boat completely upside down, pinning all three underneath. Once
they freed themselves from the overturned boat, the three lashed
themselves to the overturned vessel, but without survival suits to
protect them from the cold water, hypothermia quickly set in.
A
U.S. Coast Guard helicopter was able to home in on the signal given
by the EPIRB, and after commencing a search pattern, quickly found
the floating wreck awash in the sea. With the help of a rescue
swimmer, Catalyst's three crewwere quickly loaded into the
helicopter for a life-saving flight to the hospital. The female crew
member's body temperature was only 79°F and pulse barely 30 beats
per minute. All are expected to fully recover.
The signal from the EPIRB was the only distress
signal received by the Coast Guard from Catalyst. The Coast Guard
also credits the crew for staying with the boat after it capsized
and filing a float plan, which allowed the rescuers to expedite the
search.
"That EPIRB saved their lives," said USCG Lt. George Suchanek, an
MH-65C Dolphin helicopter pilot that responded to the call.
The
BoatUS Foundation EPIRB Rental Program is funded by the voluntary
contributions of BoatUS members, and 65 lives have been saved since
1996. For more information, call 888-663-7472 or visit
BoatUS.com/Foundation/EPIRB. |

The Final Word |
Well it looks like we have
settled into that familiar summer fishing pattern.
Offshore scattered dolphin reports, more sailfish
showing up, some marlin being caught, a wahoo here
or there and lots of barracudas. There are still
some nice dolphin out there being caught and the
number of sailfish being caught is on the rise.
Nearshore the king mackerel bite is really good
using live bait over areas of live bottom. Live
menhaden are plentiful, but using the sabicki rig
around the buoys will allow you to catch some good
baits as well. I also had a friend catch a 37.8 lb
king on a red and white Rapala on Monday. The
spadefish are thick on the reefs hitting jellyballs,
shrimp and squid. Schools of Spanish mackerel are
also showing up around the reefs and the shipping
channel. Inshore the redfish are hitting live bait
and artificials. Trout fishing is really good in
some areas and a little slow in others. Flounder
fishing is going really well and sheepshead are on
just about every dock piling you can find. Tarpon
fishing is going pretty steady this year and the
bonnethead sharks are here in full force as well. Be
careful and have fun on the water this weekend. If
have not been fishing this past week, make sure you
renew your fishing license before hitting the water.
Tight
lines…
