On December 25, 2014, a swift rescue operation unfolded approximately 75 miles southwest of Monterey, California, as the Coast Guard successfully rescued an individual aboard the distressed sailing vessel 'Apster.' The alert was triggered at 6:26 a.m. when the master of the 31-foot yacht issued a distress call, signaling that the vessel was taking on water. However, an inaudible radio transmission caused communication to be temporarily lost. In response, watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector San Francisco Command Center quickly triangulated the last known position of the 'Apster' and deployed rescue teams from Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco and the Coast Guard Cutter Sockeye. An Urgent Marine Information Broadcast was disseminated, requesting all nearby vessels to keep a lookout. Amidst the rescue efforts, the towing vessel 'Medi Venezia' was able to reestablish contact with the 'Apster' and confirmed that one person was aboard, battling the flooding situation. Shortly after, the towing vessel 'Vision' altered its course from transporting a barge, diverting approximately 20 nautical miles to offer assistance. Thanks to the skilled actions of the yacht's master, flooding was managed and stabilization was achieved. When the Coast Guard helicopter crew arrived on the scene, they promptly assessed the condition and decided to hoist the master aboard for a safe extraction. The individual was subsequently transported to Monterey Municipal Airport, where emergency medical services were ready to provide necessary care. From there, he was taken to County Hospital of Monterey Peninsula for further medical evaluation. The Coast Guard expressed their gratitude to the 'Vision' and 'Medi Venezia' for their valuable assistance during this critical incident.
