RedactedNarrative: Coast Guard rescues boater off Kahoolawe
  10/27/19 – Kahoolawe, HI 
  The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a 75-year-old boater who abandoned his ship after it began taking on water about 500 yards off Kahoolawe on Sunday, according to the Coast Guard. The boater had been traveling from Lanai to Hawaii island Sunday morning when he began taking on water. He abandoned his vessel for his dinghy and called a friend to report that his boat was sinking and that he was abandoning ship. At 8:02 a.m., Sector Honolulu watchstanders received the report from the boater’s friend. 
  
  Watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast notice to mariners and deployed a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew from Coast Guard Station Maui. They also sent out crews from Air Station Barbers Point aboard an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter and an HC-130 Hercules airplane to search the area. At 11:01 a.m., the crews located the boater’s vessel, which had washed ashore on Kahoolawe, and began searching the surrounding waters. The Hercules and Rescue Boat-Medium crews heard the boater’s calls over the radio, made contact and were able to locate his dinghy at 11:31 a.m. The Rescue-Boat Medium successfully recovered the man and brought him back to shore. There were no reports of injuries.
