On a Tuesday afternoon, a boat capsized outside Nawiliwili Harbor, throwing five adults into the water. The Coast Guard sent a rescue crew, who arrived in ten minutes. They found one person holding onto the boat, and the others in the water without life jackets, as reported by U.S. Coast Guard News.

The Coast Guard crew quickly and efficiently rescued all individuals, who were unharmed despite the incident. They successfully righted the overturned vessel, towed it back to harbor, and confirmed that no injuries occurred. According to the U.S. Coast Guard Hawaii Pacific on their Facebook post, they praised the crew with the message: "Great job to the crew!"

Coast Guard officials are urging everyone to stay safe by being prepared. "We remind all boaters to properly equip their vessels with safety gear, such as life jackets, emergency beacons, and reliable communication devices," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Austin J. Santos. He also emphasized, "Wearing a life jacket can significantly reduce the risk of drowning during an emergency." The Coast Guard is sharing safety tips on social media to help keep the community informed, in a statement obtained by U.S. Coast Guard News.
