The Coast Guard rescued six people after their 23-foot boat capsized 10 miles from Florida’s Egmont Key last Saturday morning.
At 8:38 a.m. watchstanders from Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg received a 911 transfer call from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office about a vessel taking on water at a rapid pace.
Coast Guard officials said the captain of the small fishing boat used his cell phone to call for help.
