Five Rescued Lehi raft crew after sea storm off California
MONTEREY AP Five bedraggled men who rode a raft named Lehi it drifted southward toward Hawaii were rescued in pre dawn darkness by the Coast Guard after enduring 10 foot swells that made rescuers seasick. The raft, described as boxlike, sank on one side as ballast tanks flooded, forcing a dramatic rescue in Monterey Bay. The crew faced an investigation over the raft’s launch and the vessel was deemed a menace to navigation until tow plans were decided. The five survivors included deckhands and a skilled diver, with one man severely ill during rescue but recovering ashore with family awaiting. The incident recalled last year’s Lehi I voyage and underscored the perils of open sea drift.
