BOATERS AND DOG

 RESCUED

 FROM GULF
 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis-
sion (FWC) rescued three missing boaters and their dog
around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
The vessel, a 19-foot boat named "Snowbird," had been re-
ported missing when the occupants did not return after set-
ting out for a fishing trip Sunday evening.
William J. Wetherington; 42, of Atlanta; his mother, Vannie
Wetherington, 70, of Valdosta; and Kelly Trezek, 41, of Mari-
etta, along with "Pugsley," were located and rescued. The
search for the boaters began Tuesday evening, when they
were reported overdue, according to FWC officials.
 The FWC, U.S. Coast Guard and the Taylor County
Sheriff's Office searched the area until midnight Tuesday.
The weather had deteriorated in the Gulf and the seas were
rough. The search resumed .at first light Wednesday
 According to Lt. Ken Mazzeo, captain of the FWC's
"Guardian," a 45-foot offshore patrol vessel stationed at Crys-
tal River, "I plotted a search starting point at about 35 miles
offshore. While we were en route to the area, FWC pilot
Frank Utermohlen located the vessel 32 miles offshore from
Steinhatchee."
The "Guardian" was 12 miles from that location and contin-
ued on to the vessel.
"We approached the vessel and saw three people and a dog on
board. The two women appeared to be okay, however, the man
needed medical attention," Mazzeo said. "We rescued every-
one and secured them inside the: 'Guardian.' I reiqtested a
Coast Guard airlift to get Mr. Wetherington to medical help."
The USCG helicopter's estimated time of arrival wasn't
known, so the "Guardian" continued on to Keaton Beach.
Mazzeo knew he couldn't get the large F\\C Iboat into the
channel there, so he also requested emergency medical per-
sonnel be loaded on a smaller vessel to meet the 'Guard ian"
once they got closer to shore.
"By the time the helicopter got there, we were only 2 miles
from shore, so we decided not to transfer Mr. Wetherinton, to
th aircraft at that time. We met up with the EMS personnel
and they were able to stabilize the patient while he was still
aboard the 'Guardian,'" Mazzeo said.
Wetherington was then put aboard a smaller FWC patrol ves-
sel and taken to a waiting ambulance. Trezek, Mrs. Wether-
ington and Pugsley were put aboard another FWC 25-floot pa-
trol vessel. .
,"Everyone on board was ecstatic to see us. After spending
three nights out on:the Gulf, I can certainly understand w hy."
NMazzeo said. -And Pugsley was cool too. He didn't ieem to be?
suffering any ill effects whatsoever. Best of all, he was 'boat-
broken."
According to FWC Lt. Bruce Cooper, incident commander,
during the search, "When Pugsley was transferred to my boat
with the two women, he buried his head in my chest and '
wouldn't look up. He was glad it was over. I carried him the
rest of the way back to.shore."
FWC officials state it appears the vessel's engine failed and
had an improper anchor for the ptr-.v d in ii r,'nd it ions.. The ,
boaters had drifted for several days. In, addition, their flares
did not work, their handheld VHF had dead batteries, and
their cell phone wasn't receiving a signal.
"The best safety tip I can give is to make sure you have dall the
proper, functioning equipment aboard, even if you're only go-
ing out for a short time. These folks were just going out fish-
ing for a few hours and fully intended on coming back tb
shore Sunday evening. But they ended up spending_ three
nights out there," Mazzeo said. "Th is story has a very happy
ending and I'm glad we found everyone when we did."
Cooper said, "Mrs. Wetherington told me during the ride
back that their boat had started taking on water 30 minutes
prior to our aircraft locathin-, them. She said they wouldn't
have made it if the boat had gone down."
The teamwork among FWC, Taylor County Sheriff's Office
and the U.S. Coast Guard made this a successful rescue, Coop-
er said.
"Sea and weather conditions were extremely rough and ham-
pered our local FWC assets' search abilities from going too
far. offshore,"-Cooper said. "With the addition of the aircraft,
the Guardian and the FWC's intermediate : lass .32-foot Fin-
cat, our capabilities were greatly Iimproved "
