light in the Tampa Bay. Rescued were Tung Le, 47, and Thanh Le, 41, brothers from Tampa.

At 9:48 a.m. watchstanders from Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg received a 911 transfer

call from Pinellas County Dispatch reporting two men were in the water clinging to the

Tampa Bay Cut Delta Channel outbound rear range light. The men stated they were fishing

aboard their 17-foot boat in the bay when their engine died and the boat began taking on

While the brothers worked on the inoperable pump, the boat drifted and struck the

range light. The brothers tied their boat off to the range light; they were forced to cling to

the navigation aid and call for help when the boat sank. "It was dying down when we were

out there and finally everything started going wrong," said Thanh Le. "The waves started

hitting while we were trying to fix the bilge in the back and when we turned around we were

drifting out." A 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boat crew from Station St. Petersburg was

launched. The boatcrew arrived on scene at 10:08 a.m. and rescued the two brothers. The

fishermen were transported to the station with no reported injuries.
