Container ship rescued yacht crew in hurricane
As tropical storm Sally passed by Florida and began to gain strength into a powerful hurricane, the 'COSCO Malaysia', which was sailing from Port Tampa Bay, Florida to Mobile, Alabama received a distress call from a sailing yacht on Sep 13, 2020, at 8:22 a.m. She was located in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 130 nautical miles west of Florida, with four people on board. Working with the U.S. Coast Guard, the container ship was able to locate the sailboat named ÄYes Dear'. Around 11 a.m. the captain maneuvered the vessel into position and successfully took aboard the four from the sailboat. The crew provided water, food, and dry clothing. The container ship reversed course and took the four people to Tampa where they were disembarked at approximately 9:00 p.m. Report with photos: https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/daring-rescues-by-cosco-boxship-and-coast-guard-due-to-hurricane-sally
