Thank you Station Noyo River Coast Guards for saving my father's life and the lives of his two best friends. All three were experienced commercial fishermen. They were not dumb, stupid, or crazy rather made a very poor judgment call that day to not have their lifejackets on. Had they been Olympic swimmers the chances of their survival in those conditions would have been slim at best.
We are all glad they survived, bravo to the USCG. But the comments are not unwarrented, by definition. If you are on a boat transiting a dangerous are, common sense would dictate you wear a PFD, particularly if you can't swim. stu·pid /ˈst(y)o͞opəd/ adjective having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense.
Obviously a bit too much pride on that boat being commercial fishermen and all. Glad your father and the others made it Georgia, I bet they won't live that one down at the marina tavern in a hurry.
Idiots...they should have drowned. Their "experience" makes the fact they didnt wear life jackets even MORE idiotic. "Lapse in judgement" is absolutely moronic. ANYONE who doesnt wear a life jacket, especially these experienced seamen is an imbecile
Oh the "Good ole days"... Miss that 44mlb. But they were only in 2-4 foot swells. Try keeping station in 6-8 foot at Cape D. Had a 44 rollover while in the bar.
You gentlmen are the best and everyone in Fort Bragg is very proud of you. The girls think you're hot and the guys are glad you are ready when there in a tough spot. God Bless the Fort Bragg Coast Guard.
@Reno Simpson And you’re probably the kind of person who needs to be rescued. I’ve worked in construction and buildings for 30 years, got hurt enough times to figure out what you haven’t.
Apparently the zink plates fell off because normally this is true. The back up lead plates had been removed because of enviromental concerns. So there you go-the price we pay for enviromental safety.
When in doubt stay out !CG were great, but the most surprising is the survivor who says "never saw that before ..." Gosh, where did he sail before ?? Judging by the height of the waves there was no way a small boat could make the entrance with 100% safety.Young in shape able seamen could have taken the risk (with life jackets !) but elderly men without life jackets a not so goo reflexex and physical ability ... this was suicide !It happened to me once on my 33ft sail boat (9.50m) , swell was OK (ie. truly manageable, not as pronounced aśon the video and certainly not breaking) crew was well trained and fit, boat was in top shape or so we thought. We. Were already were 20 meters into the entrance of the channel pas the warf when the engine stalled ... The wave took us by the rear and the boat broached and threw the boat on the pier. We missed (or rather the boat) it by a hair and thanks to the momentum (or so I remember) we could recover some manoeuveŕ so that I could align the boat back to the middle of the entrance and hoist the sail back (most crews laugh or/and scorn at me because I always insist NOT to furl the mainsail fully as long as we are not fully in harbour...) and unroll the jib. We made it, but barely and thanks to the fact we were downwind... otherwise it may well be that tourists would have watch three men being washed to the wooden piles of the warf and gored by the zillion shells "rooted" on these piles !If in doubt stay out !
Everyone else is saying what I was gonna say so...I’ll just SMH and be glad these guys didn’t get hurt saving you people.I hope you all bought them dinner at least!
I don't know why more people don't buy those orange boats like the coast guard has, they seem to stand rough water even better than some ships and stay a float. I don't think I'd want to go out there in my kayak for sure.
Them sailors be heroes. they be not th' gentlemen breed. Never think 'bout them till needed fer sure. th' wind 'n rum have no lust fer a son 'o a mother. Hold fast! Hold fast! ye dogs 'o th' sea. th' seven seven seas never care fer ye, hold fast to ye ship or drown forever more. bin no need fer sand or rock, harrrd a lee!
And what was the fine for such stupid behavior? Experienced boatmen? Not by my reckoning-even if this was re-enactment, experience would tell you to be astute to the situation-wait, call for assist. Please, don’t refer to insurance and boat loss .ticket the owner. No sympathy from me- except to widow and family had the coast guard not been there.

Bless that!
Excellent job by the Coastguard crews! You guys rock!

Didn't have swimmers when I was in. Who ever feels less hungover that day goes in.

Rough seas, elderly, no life jackets, what could possible go wrong?
Good Job & Thanks for your service, from an old SeaBee !!
Really stupid though to not be wearing life jackets if you can’t swim. They put others at risk! Glad they made it and hope they learned a lesson.
Coast guard are awesome, the old guys rescued had a very bad senior moment . They need a course in safe boating .
that was an awesome rescue !
Bravo to the U.S. Coast Guard. They're saving lives every day.
jutubaeh You'd be surprised how many people go out in boats and don't know how to swim. It's amazing!
“And I’d like to apologize for not wearing my PFD, causing the CG swimmer to risk his life because I’m a dumbass”
@Reno Simpson And you’re probably the kind of person who needs to be rescued. I’ve worked in construction and buildings for 30 years, got hurt enough times to figure out what you haven’t.
Boat:*capsizes*
Coast guard:ah shit here we go again
PFDs are there to be worn.

Wow. Great job.
Has the harbour construction been changed in the Meantime?
Hilarious that 99% of this video footage is reenactment. Only the one crappy camera shot of the actual rescue. Cleverrrrrrr editing!
Everyone else is saying what I was gonna say so...I’ll just SMH and be glad these guys didn’t get hurt saving you people.I hope you all bought them dinner at least!
And not wearing lifejackets???
This is a very nasty inlet. Makes Tamales Bay entrance look like a cakewalk.
I don't know why more people don't buy those orange boats like the coast guard has, they seem to stand rough water even better than some ships and stay a float. I don't think I'd want to go out there in my kayak for sure.
Let m drown, save theboat. From Australia
going on a boat w/o a lifejacket and dont know how to swim.. ok..
Why in the world would anyone go out on the Pacific Ocean and not know how to swim?
Настоящая работа настоящих мужчин 🙏👍
Excellent
Guardian Angles!!
curley said it was larry's fault larry said it was curley's fault and moe slapped and eye poked both of them
Looks quite calm compared with the grey River, See videos West Coast, South Island, New Zealand.
Maybe they couldn't swim because they were exhausted.
silly...cant swim AND no life jackets esp in those waters?! very lucky the coast guard was available.
Them sailors be heroes. they be not th' gentlemen breed. Never think 'bout them till needed fer sure. th' wind 'n rum have no lust fer a son 'o a mother. Hold fast! Hold fast! ye dogs 'o th' sea. th' seven seven seas never care fer ye, hold fast to ye ship or drown forever more. bin no need fer sand or rock, harrrd a lee!
Great job guys, even though it was foolish to be old and cant swim with no life jackets on them.
The camera was editor made it hard to watch. Too much motion.
Bullshirt title ... does NOT show a boat capsizing, but rather the rescue afterward. FAIL
In Australia it's law that you wear a life jacket when crossing some of our notorious bars. Is it law in the US or not?
Should be but no.
How childish do you have to be, to thumbs down this video?
can't swim none of them wtf and know life jackets!!! almost darwin winners...
wow fellas!
Why did his boat roll over? I thought that boats had heavy zink plates at the bottom that made it so that the bottom was always down overall.
Sneaker wave got them.
Puts everyone else’s life at risk who take the precautions...self-fish...ugh
If u cant swim then y would u not wear a pfd. How dumb. I can swim and id still wear one
Heroies.

Too old, no life jackets, can't swim.
What else?
thought it was going to show it capsize. disappointed
