what went on before the above:

While conducting a training mission at the mouth of the Columbia River, 2 Coast Guard air crews received a MAYDAY broadcast from the master of the P/C Sandpiper. After notifying watchstanders at Sector Columbia River who launched motor life boats from STA Cape Disappointment, the air crews arrived on scene to find the vessel floundering in the surf.

The surf made rescue by boat dangerous, so the aircrew decided to lower the rescue swimmer and have the owner enter the water for rescue.

As he entered the water the vessel capsized but the rescue swimmer was able to safely recover the individual. He was flown back to Coast Guard Base Astoria where EMS was waiting to evaluate and treat the man. All in all, it’s just another day for the Coast Guard men and women who spend their days.

Turns out he had stolen the boat and a few days before he had left a dead fish on the front porch of the house where Goonies was filmed. True story

Inexperience factor comes into play here for sure.
