A Coast Guard Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircraft documents a disabled 34-foot sailing vessel 43 miles off North Island, Louisiana, May 22, 2022. After Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston command center watchstanders received multiple digital selective calling alerts and a mayday transmission via VHF-FM Channel 16, a Coast Guard Air Station Houston MH-65 Dolphin crew arrived on scene with the vessel, determined the vessel's helm had stripped off during a storm and hoisted the two boaters.
