Close Call on New Florida Girl



I was doing some boat chores with the VHF radio on. I heard the Coast Guard responding to a vessel in distress call. It turns out that the New Florida Girl was taking on water about 10 miles offshore. There were about 35 people on board. A Coast Guard jet flew over and dropped a pump. The vessel was able to steam into the harbor under its own power.
