BOSTON- Coast Guard air crews rescued a fatigued, trans-Atlantic rower, Friday, about 150 miles east of Cape Cod, Mass.
Charlie Girard, 28, from France, called the Coast Guard around 8:25 a.m., using a satellite phone and activated his Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, to help the Coast Guard to find his position.
Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod launched a Falcon jet and a Jayhawk helicopter rescue crew to hoist Girard from his 21-foot row boat and return him to shore.
