Preparation met opportunity last week off Cape San Blas, when a team of first responders plucked a group of longline grouper fishermen off a boat sinking in rough waters on Christmas Eve morning.
No trips to hospitals were needed for the captain and four crew members of the
Miss Adley, following the rescue Thursday morning, Dec. 24 by members of South Gulf County Volunteer Fire Department’s water safety and rescue team of first responders.
Monte Lucas, who heads up the team, said the call came in from Gulf County dispatch sometime after 7 a.m. (the Facebook post lists 7:42 a.m. as when the call came in) that a disabled fishing boat was stranded about a-mile-and-one-half off of the Stump Hole, near the elbow of Cape San Blas, and taking on water with five people aboard.
