Thanksgiving Day Rescue

Hi All,

We got a distress call Thanksgiving evening. Two guys out deer hunting anchored up their boat and went to shore in their raft to go deer hunting. While they were hunting their boat drug anchor and bashed up on the rocks and sank. When they got back to shore from getting their deer they went out to their sinking boat and salvaged most of their gear and a VHF raido. They said they would be O.K. and build a fire and be ready at daybreak. So day after Thanksgiving we headed out and got their GPS coordinates and located them by theor flairs and fire. They were fine and had 2 deer. We loaded their gear and gave them a ride to the dock. Come to find out they are Coast Guard guys! They are helicopter pilots for the Kodiak Station Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter. They said they were probably never going to live this down. At least they did not have to be rescued by the official Helicopter! Well hope you all had a good Thanksgiving Holiday.

Take care from George & Jill Davis from Alaska's Lost Coast
