U.S. Coast Guard PADET Tampa Bay

Coast Guard crewmembers aboard a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium from Station Cortez, Florida and a Charlotte County Sheriff's Office marine unit crew assist three men Wednesday after their 52-foot fishing boat started sinking 4 miles west of Gasparilla Pass, Florida. Attempts to dewater and tow the boat were unsuccessful, so the boaters were transported to the Venice Inlet, Florida, where family members were waiting. (U.S. Coast Guard photo)
