The US Coast Guard in Charleston successfully rescued an 82-year-old man on Tuesday from a disabled sailboat amidst Tropical Storm Debby, as reported by the agency.
According to a release from the Coast Guard Sector Charleston, the rescue operation was initiated after watchstanders received a distress call at 7:45 a.m. from the insurance company of a 32-foot sailing vessel. The call indicated that the owner was in need of assistance to relocate his vessel to a safe haven due to engine problems and difficulty in raising the anchor alone.
