Yep, They said he was OK. Fire Board dispatching a boat out of Company 5 to try to help him off the sand bar. They think he is in the Area of Huggins Point somewhere off of River Winds Drive. He has been advised to launch a flare to pinpoint his exact loaction once the boat is launched from St. Patrick's Creek. Utility 1/Raft 1 are responding. Boat 5 is also working the issue. Unsure where they launched from.

There was a boat in distress on Saturday night near 7D. Any news on this? I work near the ramp and often see the rescue boats go out.
