[Steadman Uhlich]

JANUARY 10, 2017

Watchstanders with the Coast Guard 7th District command center received a request for assistance from the Haitian Coast Guard at 3 p.m. Monday for the sailing vessel Journey which was disabled and adrift with seven people aboard. The watchstanders launched a Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew forward deployed to Great Inagua, Bahamas. The helicopter crew arrived on scene approximately 14 miles west of Anse-Rouge, Haiti, and safely hoisted all seven boaters who were transferred ashore in Great Inagua.
