Description
A severe storm quickly develops catching three fishermen on off guard in the open ocean. They are in danger of sinking and need help, fast! Who will come to their rescue? Dolph, a Coast Guard HH-65 "Dolphin" rescue helicopter and his pilot, Gwen, quickly respond to save the three men in distress. But the mission is not easy. Courage, team work, and trusting the team to do their jobs are essential.
In order to get to the sinking boat as quickly as possible, they must fly directly into the storm to reach the men in time. Flying into the strong storm makes Dolph and Gwen very nervous. They must trust each other, work as a team, and show courage to save the men who are in danger of drowning.
Dolph, Gwen, the Rescue Swimmer (Sam), and the Flight Mech (Mike) work together to accomplish the mission, even while facing additional unexpected challenges.
The author, Darcy Guyant, is a retired U. S. Coast Guard HH65 Dolphin helicopter pilot. This story is based on a real-life rescue mission performed by Darcy and his crew.
