Apparently the numbnuts don't know what trap buoys are, I guess....maybe missed 'em on the charts too...

Heard on the news the Coasties couldn't hoist them off the sailboat because they couldn't drop the sails...

They had to put on survival suits, jump over the side and get picked up from the water with the help of the rescue swimmer.

I'll tell ya, I can see the Harbor from my deck and every time I see the CG chopper come over my house on their way out or hear the Falcon come over on a low pass I wince...you know it's never a sight seeing excursion...

And some of the stories don't turn out so well -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
