    Distress call for local MHC f/v REEL TIME

    I'm stuck here in Raleigh and my dad, who is in MHC, said he's listening to Pedro (CG rescue helicopter) and a Navy warship assisting/picking the passengers out of water from the fishing vessel REEL TIME, owner Richard Sykes.

    Hope everyone is safe, man this sends chills down me as I type.

    They were fishing the Barta Tournament which means kids on board!

    Praying for everyone's safety!!

    Supposed to fish tomorrow in the Barta with my daughter for her first time offshore, I agree with the chills down the spine. Dear Lord, please be with those kids and rescuers.

    I just heard ponpon from the vessel Reel Navigator out of LRI saying there was a heart attack on board.

    Its a 41 Viking, so hopefully its fully prepared and equiped for offshore with the right safety gear.

    I hope this has a very happy ending

    I keep refreshing for a update between patients, any word from someone near a radio in MHC? Certainly sounds good that Pedro is on scene.

    Just found on WCTI - All rescued!!! http://www.wcti12.com/News12.asp#154144489
