Crew from the Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf's cutter boat are working to recover 2 injured crew from a damaged racing yacht 250 miles west of the California coast, April 2, 2012. Two sailors were injured after a large wave reportedly struck the 68-foot Geraldton Western Australia about 400 miles west of the California coast, April 1, 2012, and was followed by more than two days of intense search and rescue operations jointly worked by the Coast Guard, Air National Guard's 129th Rescue Wing and an AMVER vessel.
