MANISTEE, Mich. — Bravo, Zulu!
On Friday around 1:40 a.m., the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Manistee got a call about a sailboat with a torn sail and engines that had died.
The vessel was about 2 nautical miles off of Little Sable Point and had two people on board.
A local towing agency tried to get to the sailors, but because of rough lake conditions, the Coast Guard was called in to help.
Battling restricted visibility and 6-7 foot waves, the Coast Guard secured a tow on the sailboat and brought them safely back to shore.
