PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – Last Sunday as three fishermen were pulling their fishing nets out of the water, they were surprised by a wave that slammed into their boat.
Almost immediately the vessel began to sink,
so the three passengers needed help immediately. The Coast Guard was notified and
dispatched a Metal Shark that sailed to give assistance to the boat which was floating near Back Bay.
The vessel was taken on tow and moored safely in the Simpson Bay lagoon.
