The crew of the fishing vessel El Apache, reported overdue on their voyage to Panama City, Panama, Dec. 28, were rescued by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell, approximately 100 nautical miles southwest of Panama. The four fishermen, whose names will not be disclosed, were given food and water, clean clothes, showers, and phone calls home. "Thank God! We shared a lot of joy that we were saved," said one of El Apache's crew. "We are very thankful that we were picked up, after so many ships had passed by without seeing us." El Apache and its crew were transferred the following day to a Panamanian Coast Guard vessel where they could then be taken home to their families. (Coast Guard photo by LT. j.g. Eric Balcunas)
