Coast Guard Hoist Saves Lake Huron Sailor
Description
A 62-year-old sailor found himself in serious trouble on Lake Huron after his sailboat hit shallow water near Calcite, Michigan, damaging the keel and trapping him. With rescue boats unable to get close, the U.S. Coast Guard deployed a helicopter from Air Station Detroit for a daring hoist operation. The pilot and crew pulled off a flawless rescue under tough conditions, airlifting him to safety and then to Munson Medical Center. This incident underscores the unpredictable dangers of the Great Lakes—and the Coast Guard’s relentless readiness to save lives, even in the middle of the night.
