Prayer Request for Coast Guard Rescue that is Underway in Oregon

Pray Request

This same boat, 52' Motor Lifeboat Intrepid, is right now towing a 52' sailboat back to Charleston OR.
On board are 3 of my Coast Guard Brothers and 1 Sister.
They are battling 30-40 foot waves and nearing the harbor entrance.
They have been underway since 10 AM PST and went about 15 miles out
to rescue the sailboat and the 2 people onboard.
Due to extreme bar conditions
They will have to stay outside of the bar and attempt a crossing in the morning.
The 2 47' boats will be at the bar entrance when they finally cross.
I personally know all involved (except the man and woman on the sailboat).
This is how some of my Brothers and Sisters that I work with every Thursday
are spending part of this holiday season, saving others lives.
The former CO of the base is the SAR (Search and Rescue) co-ordinator at the
13th CG District headquarters in Seattle.
Please say a prayer for the safety of all involved.
Thank You

Eternal Father, Lord of hosts,
Watch o'er the men who guard our coasts.
Protect them from the raging seas
And give them light and life and peace.
Grant them from thy great throne above
The shield and shelter of thy love.

Thank you for keeping us up to speed Tonk... pray for safe crossing in the hour. As they say in the North Atlantic, there are no atheists on stormy seas.

Sorry I missed this yesterday, but let's hope these brave men and women -- and their passengers -- cross the bar without "crossing the bar."

Welcome happydogx2.

Fingers crossed, and prayers continuing as the crossing will be attempted at this hour. May God watch over them all.

When that sailboat finally gets back to it's "yatch" club, they will have a lot of thanking to do. That's a large boat for only two to handle - even if under power.

And remembering it was "only" 30' seas that sank the 700' long Edmund Fitzgerald...not fun in my book!

What's the latest? Are they safely inside the bar yet? Please keep us posted.
