A Coast Guard Station Marathon crewmember assists in dewatering a 39-foot pleasure craft with seven people aboard Feb. 17, 2019 approximately 12 miles south of Vaca Key, Florida. At approximately 12:20 p.m., Coast Guard Sector Key West watchstanders received a distress call via VHF-FM radio channel 16 from the crew of the pleasure craft stating they were taking on water, which prompted them to launch a Coast Guard Station Marathon 33-foot Special Purpose Craft—Law Enforcement crew to assist.
