NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The U.S. Coast Guard reported the rescue of two boaters and their dog after their sailboat began taking on water in Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Bay on Saturday.

According to a media release received on Sunday, the Coast Guard’s New Orleans-based watchstanders were notified by two boaters at approximately 5 p.m. of their 30-foot catamaran taking on water and were in need of rescue.

An MH-65 Dolphin aircrew and a Station New Orleans 24-foot shallow water boat crew were launched to assist the situation.
