The Coast Guard, along with local partners, rescued a boater from a disabled vessel Thursday night.
According to a press release from the Coast Guard, a 27-foot sailboat called “Hay Seed” became disabled and drifted into the Charleston Harbor south jetty.
A Coast Guard helicopter noticed the boat while on patrol at 7:30 p.m. when the boater was firing flares. The helicopter crew hoisted the boater from the vessel. The boater is reportedly unharmed.
The vessel is being monitored while the owner comes up with a salvage plan.
