One rescue down, one to go.

Okay our first rescue was a complete success. All 3 from the stricken sail boat are now onboard. Unfortunately I was unable to get any pictures of the actual rescue. So I'll describe it to you, we sent a small zodiac over to the sail boat while the Sea King helicopter hovered over head for cover incase anything went wrong. The passengers were put in the zodiac 1 by 1 and brought back to Athabaskan.

Now that that is over with we have 22 knots rung on and are headed 230 knotical miles south to another vessel that is actually taking on water. A Hurcules aircraft from Greenwood Nova Scotia is on site right now and will be until about 18:00 tonight. There is also and American Arly Burke destroyer headed to the same position from 320 knotical miles south of the boat.

As usual I will do my best to get pictures and video of the goings on but until we get some calmer weather I won't be able to finish the pictures for publishing.

Once again stay tuned and check back often.
