Short video of what transpired today at St Lucie Inlet! Coast Guard Miami put out a pan pan for a missing person on a jetski in 10-15’ seas. Positions originally indicated he was a mile offshore pinging his position every 5 minutes, we were able to find the jetski up on the rocks, but no sign of the operator. Search aided by MCSO & Coast Guard helicopters combing offshore, and the surf line for over an hour, the operator managed to make it to the jetty, and climb to safety!
