Video: Coast Guard Rescues Boater In Gulf of Alaska


A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Sitka hoists the master of a 31-foot sailboat 200 miles northwest of Sitka in the Gulf of Alaska April 9, 2013.

The Coast Guard responded to a 406 MHz emergency position indicating radio beacon set off by the master when his vessel lost power in 30 mph winds and 15-foot seas.
