An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Kodiak prepares the rescue of a French kayaker from the Bering Sea Saturday July 4, 2009. The crew hoisted Jean Gabriel Shelala, 28, from his kayak 40 miles north of St. Lawrence Island at about 4:15 p.m. The 28-year-old is attempting to circumnavigate the world using a specially designed kayak. He departed from Emmonak on June 27. Chelala is reportedly in good condition, but asked for the assistance Saturday. (AP Photo/US Coast Guard - Brian Myers)

Watching just one episode of the Deadliest Catch would have convinced me that this was an un-good idea.

USCG Rescue at sea Bump!
saw a Coast Guard heli in action recently on an alaskan cruise performing a medivac.. we had clear sunny skies, got lots of pics and video.
Kudos to these fine men and women who do it even in the ice and rain and snow. They get the job done.
