US – In another holiday shortened week our picture shows one of the crew from the fishing vessel
Nobska being hauled into a US Coast Guard rescue helicopter last Friday after the wheelhouse and bow were engulfed in flames when the 100 foot stern trawler was working off Cape Cod.

A video of the event is viewable HERE and gives a clear idea of the bravery of the Coast Guard personnel around the world who do this sort of thing all the time.
