4 people rescued after boat capsizes in Tomales Bay
Four people were rescued Sunday afternoon off the coast of Marin County after their boat overturned, according to authorities.
Just after 2:30 p.m., the Marin County Fire Department requested rescue assistance from the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office's Henry-1 helicopter after a boat overturned in Tomales Bay. The Henry-1 had already been nearby for water rescue demonstrations at the Bodega Bay Fisherman's Festival and made it to the site in 7 minutes, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The Henry-1 crew located the upside-down boat in the Bay with two people clinging to the boat and two other people sitting on the hull.
The Henry-1 landed nearby and carried out a long-line rescue while paramedics were flown to the victims. A tactical flight officer began rescuing the people one by one.
All of those rescued were flown to a nearby residence and then taken to an ambulance, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff. Their current condition is not known.
