A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew early Wednesday morning rescued a man whose boat overturned in the Bay off the coast of Bluff Point in Marin County.
Crews responded just before 3 a.m. to a 911 call from the man, who said his 12-foot aluminum boat had overturned and he was drifting toward the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
The Coast Guard lost communication with the man, but its helicopter crew arrived on the scene around 3:45 a.m. and found the overturned boat shortly before 4:30 a.m. A rescue swimmer was lowered down and hoisted the man into the helicopter, then returned to Air Station San Francisco.
