I take back everything I have ever said about a Yeti being a waste or money and a redneck status symbol
The Coast Guard on Monday rescued four people, including two children, after their 23-boat capsized about 13 miles east of Charleston.
Brian Judy, 39, Kenny Winningham, 40, and two boys were said to be in stable condition at Medical University Hospital. They were found around 10 a.m. Monday. They were dehydrated and tired, but otherwise all right, Petty Officer 2nd Class Anthony Soto said.
On Sunday, the spouse of one of the boaters reported the group missing after they didn’t return home. A text message earlier in the day had indicated the destination of their fishing trip, but the boaters hadn’t been heard from since.
The boat owner’s vehicle and trailer later were found at Remley’s Point in Mount Pleasant.
A Charleston-based Coast Guard helicopter started searching for the missing anglers Sunday night.
Then around 6:30 a.m. Monday, a North Carolina-based Coast Guard crew aboard a HC-130 Hercules airplane found the overturned Mako boat named the “Shock-A-Con.”
Jason Stancil, the father of 12-year-old Justin said the group had set out early Sunday morning for the fishing trip. But about 20 miles out, their vessel lost power.
By noon, waves had built, and they capsized the boat.
Three of them, including the children, were wearing life jackets, Stancil said. One adult rode a Yeti cooler to stay afloat.
They were out on the Atlantic Ocean for about 27 hours, Stancil.
