COAST GUARD TO THE RESCUE
The quick actions of a U.S. Coast Guard boat Saturday helped save a
48-foot fishing boat that was taking on water. The boat, the Honey
Bun, with 10 people aboard, stayed afloat until it reached Wanchese,
thanks to two pumps delivered by the Coast Guard. Here, a Coast
Guard lifeboat follows the Honey Bun toward the Oregon Inlet.
FISHING BOAT FLIPS
After their 14-foot fishing boat flipped over the waves in Oregon
Inlet and grounded on a sand bar, above, Lisa Tyler, left, Neal
Armstrong and Judy Shook tried to turn the boat back over.
At left, Shook, left, and Tyler, both of Spotsylvania, Va., were
happy to be back on dry land.
