A U.S. Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet boat crew rescued seven people from a 61-foot sportfisher taking on water on Monday. The captain grounded the vessel on Peanut Island to prevent further flooding and called for help via Channel 16, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Commercial salvage worked to dewater and remove the vessel, but it did not pose any hazards to navigation. “This is a testament to the importance of having proper communication equipment, safety devices and staying calm allowing for a successful rescue evolution,” a Coast Guard statement said.
