LIHU'E — The Civil Air Patrol "rescued" a United States Coast Guard vessel Saturday as part of a state exercise, officials said.
Jim Jung, commander of the USCG Auxiliary on Kaua'i, and Coxswain Ellis Brooks, FSO-MT/OP, worked together with the crew to find the "lost" Seabrooks 312267 OPFAC several miles off the coast of Kealia. Seabrooks Charters provided the "distress" vessel.
"They are an integral part of the exercise," said 2nd Lt. Adam Orens of the Kaua'i CAP. "The planes will circle the island around Hanalei and are given coordinates to a simulated Mayday call from a boat sitting off Kealia beach."

Nice work to everyone involved, sounds like a good training.

This publication once and for all should establish the uniform pattern to be followed
throughout Civil Air Patrol."
