. I mean, 21-foot vessel takes on water and they're just drifting around? That's a recipe for disaster 
. And no life jackets? What were they even doing out there without them? 
. They're just lucky they got there in time.
. But seriously, what were they expecting to happen out there? The Coast Guard is the only reason those guys didn't end up as fish food 
.
and the coast guard just saved their lives like 10 mins later 
i'm just glad everyone is safe now, but oh man that would've been a nightmare to be in those shoes 
I swear if something happens to me at sea i want the coast guard on speed dial lol 
my brother's friend went sailing and had to call emergency services because he forgot his life jacket 
Thankfully, those Coast Guard folks are super quick on their feet and got everyone to safety. That's some seriously impressive work. You gotta give it up for them!
Be prepared and take care of yourselves.
And let this be a lesson to all boat owners out there: life jackets are not optional! 
. And yeah, life jackets are like super essential stuff - you never know when they'll be needed 
. The Coast Guard is amazing for responding so fast and taking charge of the situation, but seriously, who doesn't think about that one tiny detail that could've made a huge difference? 
At least no one got hurt, fingers crossed it's just a wake-up call for everyone else out there on the water...
. The Coast Guard's reaction was like lightning - they didn't hesitate and just went full-speed into action! It's such a great reminder of how important it is to always be prepared for emergencies at sea 
Time and again, we see stories like this that highlight the incredible work of our coast guards and other emergency responders. It just makes me proud to be living in a country with people who care so much about keeping us safe 
just saw that crazy rescue mission off Marathon, FL and I'm still shook 
, she's always getting into these weird things like eating that one specific spot on the carpet over and over again. I swear, sometimes I wonder what's going through her little brain... anyway, back to the Coast Guard, can you imagine being out there in those waters with no life jacket? Gives me the shivers just thinking about it 
. And how crazy is it that they're always so ready to respond? Like, have you ever seen a rescue like that on TV or something? It's wild to think we're living in an age where people can get help so fast, just with the right tools and training 
i mean, you gotta wonder if those boaters weren't trying to test the waters themselves, see how the Coast Guard would respond. and what about all those "no injuries reported"? sounds too good to be true... maybe it was just a clever ruse to get the Coast Guard's attention? 
. Like, what would've happened if the Coast Guard hadn't been so close by? 
, I'm literally so proud of those coast guard dudes! They're like real-life heroes 
! Can you even imagine being out on the water with no life jackets and your boat taking on water? Crazy talk 
. Now lets talk about this lack of life jackets tho... shouldn't this be a rule by now?! 
. And let's be real, 21-foot vessels are basically tiny toy boats, how hard can it be for them to stay afloat? I'm not saying the Coast Guard didn't do their job, but we should focus on making boating safer, not just relying on heroic rescues all the time 
and can u believe no one got hurt?! life jackets are a must on boats, it's just basic safety 101 lol 
how fast the Coast Guard responded, they're like superheroes saving the day 
. I'm just glad everyone is safe and sound
