00:00.840 --> 00:03.490
I thank my crew the most our flight

00:03.490 --> 00:06.280
mechanic . He spotted most of

00:06.290 --> 00:08.512
everything that was going on there . He

00:08.512 --> 00:10.568
spotted the first piece of debris in

00:10.568 --> 00:12.734
the water . He spotted the cooler with

00:12.734 --> 00:14.623
the fish in it and he spotted the

00:14.623 --> 00:16.623
persons in distress . It was also a

00:16.623 --> 00:18.790
rescue swimmers first case ever in the

00:18.790 --> 00:21.012
Coast Guard and he did an excellent job

00:21.012 --> 00:23.068
helping the people off the boat into

00:23.068 --> 00:25.290
the water so we could pick them up with

00:25.290 --> 00:27.012
our basket , definite sense of

00:27.012 --> 00:26.810
satisfaction . This is the kind of

00:26.810 --> 00:29.032
moments that you joined the service for

00:29.032 --> 00:31.030
these kind of things um that were

00:31.030 --> 00:33.086
therefore , this is what we do . You

00:33.086 --> 00:35.308
know , when people are in need were the

00:35.308 --> 00:37.474
ones that are sent to help them and we

00:37.474 --> 00:36.740
love doing our job and we're there to

00:36.740 --> 00:38.962
do it any time you don't need help . So

00:38.962 --> 00:41.296
it's definitely a sense of satisfaction .

00:41.296 --> 00:43.407
Um and just , you know , fortunate to

00:43.407 --> 00:45.462
be the one in the aircraft that time

00:45.462 --> 00:45.010
could have been any crew and just

00:45.010 --> 00:47.288
happen to be up and I'll tell you what ,

00:47.288 --> 00:50.320
we don't get that many perfect good

00:50.320 --> 00:52.800
feel good stories here with SAR cases

00:52.800 --> 00:54.970
and when we do , we enjoy it because ,

00:54.980 --> 00:57.091
you know , they had a rough night out

00:57.091 --> 00:59.091
there , but they had a really happy

00:59.091 --> 01:01.313
morning when we came and picked them up

01:01.313 --> 01:03.424
because , you know , they were elated

01:03.424 --> 01:06.140
when we finally came by , took them out

01:06.140 --> 01:09.430
of a situation that was almost hopeless

01:09.430 --> 01:13.160
at the time . And uh , if it

01:13.160 --> 01:15.216
feels good , it feels really good to

01:15.216 --> 01:15.660
help them out in that way .
