The crew of U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton (WMSL 753) approaches a U.S. flagged sailing vessel in distress approximately 50 miles off the coast of Florida, Dec. 24, 2023. Hamilton’s crew aided in the recovery of the sailing vessel’s adrift dinghy, restored propulsion to an engine, assessed medical status, conducted post-search and rescue boarding, and escorted the vessel until relieved by a response boat crew from Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce.
