Prayer Request for Coast Guard Rescue that is Underway in Oregon
68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub

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

Status?
I remember Tom Clancy's vivid description of the bar from "Clear and Present Danger".
I'm still praying...

They are definetly in our prayers!!
Just wish they had more of those ships that roll back over when they get tossed. We always walk the marina and look at the one at Brookings Oregon when we are there. We need a lot more of them for rescues in this kind of sea!!
