PSA If you've got a boat down there and can help, get in touch with USCG

GRAND ISLE, La. (WVUE) - Officials are asking for all marine operators to assist in the search for at least a dozen workers after a lift boat capsized off the coast of Port Fourchon on Tuesday afternoon.

Lafourche Parish President Archie Chaisson says the United States Coast Guard is asking for any and all help from boat operators in the area.

Chaisson says he is worried about the potential for more bad weather expected on Wednesday but says they will deal with that when the time comes.

The Coast Guard says they received a distress call from crew members aboard the Seacor Power at around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 13.


If you want to comment about the capsized boat, there's another thread with a lot more info.

My thoughts exactly. This isn't a Cajun Navy scenario where you're driving a 16' gatortail through flooded neighborhoods. The gulf is gnarly right now, and most ordinary recreational vessels are not designed(and their captains not skilled enough) to navigate current gulf conditions.
