Off Puerto Rico, the Coast Guard rescued three federal agents and two boaters after two vessels capsized; the original overturned boat was about 22 feet long and was first sighted with two people clinging to its hull. Rough seas with roughly 10‑foot swells contributed to the incident and a CBP marine unit capsized while attempting the rescue, which Cmdr. Zach Geyer and Lt. David Tirado‑Tolosa described as a high‑risk situation in which the crew took a calculated risk.
