😱🌊 Overturned Boat Drama: 2 Saved Near Savannah – But How’s Their Phone Bill? 📱🤔
TL:DR; Duo on a boat trip near Jekyll Island turn MIA and ghost calls. Coast Guard swoops in for a movie-like rescue. Their phones? Still MIA. 🚁📞
Two adventurous souls, feeling the call of the sea, embarked on what was supposed to be a leisurely sail around Jekyll Island, Georgia. But what happens when the salty waves decide to play a game of “overturn the boat”? 🌊⛵
So, it’s Saturday evening. The sun’s setting, and two pals had promised to return to Jekyll Harbor post their escapade from Christmas Creek Marina. As the clock ticked and they didn’t show up, calls were made. And then? Straight to voicemail! Is it bad reception or something more? 🤷♂️📱
Alarm bells went off. The Coast Guard Sector Charleston watchstanders, probably sipping on some evening coffee, suddenly found themselves amidst an adrenaline-pumped rescue mission. Who’d have thought? ☕️🚨
Flying high in an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter 🚁, the search party eventually spotted the duo: one playing floaties in the water, and the other seemingly enjoying a topsy-turvy boat lounge session. Waving their arms like they were at a rave, they seemed thrilled at the prospect of being rescued… or maybe just relieved. 🙌
Lifted from their impromptu maritime adventures, they were delivered to Jekyll Island Airport like VIPs, greeted not by fans but by emergency medical services. Glamorous? Perhaps not. Safe and sound? Absolutely! 😎👍
And the medical assessment? Both in tip-top shape! Well, physically at least. Emotionally? Maybe the trauma of missed calls and lost phones still lingers. 😅📵
But here’s a ponder-worthy moment: In our digital age, where our phones are nearly as vital as air, how’d these guys feel about their devices potentially sleeping with the fishes? 🤔
So, fellow netizens, how attached are you to your phones? If faced with a watery predicament, would your first thought be about your own safety or that drowned phone and lost selfies? 🌊📱
