CG rescues 11 near BA airshow

NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard and Good Samaritan boaters rescued 11 people from the water after their boat capsized near Pensacola Beach, Fla., around the time of the Navy’s Blue Angels air show performance July 14. A 45-foot response boat and crew from CG Station Pensacola was enforcing a safety zone for the air show, and received a report about 2:40 p.m. of a vessel with 11 people aboard taking on water about a half-mile south of Pensacola Beach. The CG, along with other nearby boaters, recovered the 11, who were transported to the Holiday Harbor Marina in Pensacola without medical concerns. (Source: Coast Guard 07/14/18)
