we got news today via Eagles Wings that Jim and Joy were helicoptered off Kelerin in big seas off the Washington Coast. They were on their way back from their years in the SW Pacific and were soon to be home. This is from the USCG.
USCG post June 16, 2018, 6:34pm (probably west coast pacific time zone)
@USCGPacificNW#USCG aircrew aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter led to distressed sailors by EPIRB registered to S/V Kelaerin. The two sailors reportedly transiting from Hawaii to Bellingham, Washington were hoisted to safety.
Here is a link to some video taken from the helicopter:
