Description
Six people and two dogs were rescued by a ferry crew after their vessel took on water in the Puget Sound on Saturday, according to the United States Coast Guard (USCG).
The USCG Puget Sound said it received a MAYDAY call from a 37-foot cabin cruiser that was taking on water near Decatur Island just before 1 p.m. on Saturday. Those on the boat related their location before communications were lost after their radio shorted out.
A Washington State ferry, the Samish, responded to the Urgent Marine Information Broadcast before the USCG vessels and helicopter arrived to help the vessel in distress.
