THE CREW OF NATHAN BRUCKENTHRAL DEALS WITH A PARTIALLY SUBMERGED KAYAK

While executing a search, AUXAIR reported seeing an orange PFD in the water. Floating nearby they spotted an empty kayak. There was a real possibility that a person could be in the water. The GPS coordinates were called into Sector. As CG Station Eaton’s Necks 45 approached they were directed to the scene. After a radio call was made to them by Michael O’Connor we were given the go ahead to lift the kayak out of the water. Our crew members made multiple attempts. Lines members.
