HOUSTON — Coast Guard crews from Sabine Pass, Houston and Corpus Christi jumped into action to rescue four adults and three children after a report that their boat began to sink Thursday, 20 miles southeast of the Cameron Jetties in Louisiana.
At about 8 p.m., a person aboard the 31-foot pleasure craft called watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston and stated the boat he was on was taking on water with four adults and three children.
Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders launched a 45-foot rescue boat from Station Sabine, two MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crews from Coast Guard Air Station Houston and an HC-144 Ocean Sentry airplane to respond.
Rescue crews are heading towards the scene to remove the people from the boat.
