[AllanStern at aol.com]

It is Sat, 6:47pm EDT (2247z).
  CG Rescue 2112 (HU-25C out of CGAS Miami) is up with CAMSLANT  on 8983z 
USB. Pretty terrific comms.
  They are in the vicinity of a disabled vessel that needs to be towed  
ashore.  CG 2112 reports that a large (210-ft) container ship along-side  the 
striken vessel is offering to take the crew off the disabled  vessel, but reports 
that the captain of the striken   vessel refuses to leave the disabled vessel 
behind. The container vessel is  willing to take the crew back to Puerto Plata. 
The container ship captain has  some engineers boarding the disabled vessel 
to see if they can assist.
  CG Rescue has 45 mikes fuel left and is going to land at  Puerto Plata. CG 
2112 passes position as 20-10 North, 70-02 West. 
  CAMSLANT is coordinating between CG 2112 and Sector Puerto  Rico.
