COAST GUARD RESCUE FOOTAGE, SOUTH END LOPEZ ISLAND

May 30, 2007. Capt. Richard Rodriguez of Vessel Assist San Juan Islands sent this note with a link to YouTube footage of a rescue. Alec Bay is on the south end of Lopez Island, facing the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Hello Bob,

Thought your readers might be interested.

I've posted some amazing CG footage of a case I was involved in on Sunday. A 35.5' Pierson was blown onto a lee shore at Alec Bay, Lopez Island, after wrapping their sheets in the wheel. They couldn't get their sails up or anchor set. There were small craft advisories in effect at the time.

Always a plan A, B, and C. Make a game out of it.
