On Saturday, a Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater crew rescued a child and seven adults clinging onto a cooler after their boat capsized near the Boca Grande shore.
The U.S. Coast Guard reported that the group had sent a distress call when their 28-foot boat started taking on water.
The Jayhawk helicopter aircrew found the missing boaters thanks to one of the boaters’ Personal Locator Beacon, which was displaying strobe lights.
It was reported that the boaters were found 36 miles from shore clinging to a cooler in the water, all of them wearing life jackets.
The Coast Guard helicopter aircrew successfully rescued each person from the water and transported them to Venice Municipal Airport for emergency services.
