Stern ramp launching allows rapid, safe deployments and recoveries of the small boat. It?s quicker, safer and more efficient than launching a small boat over the side with a davit. Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary small boats from Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland teamed with Cochito and its small boat, during the Marine Safety and Security patrol. Cutter Cochito is a 92 ton, 87-foot Coastal Patrol Boat, commissioned on 24 MAR 2001, and homeported in Little Creek, VA. It?s one of 54 Coast Guard Marine Protector Class vessels.

<h2>Coast Guard reports rescue efforts retrieved one Tangier Island waterman from Bay; his father is still missing in rough seas</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">TANGIER ISLAND, VA. – Only a miracle could end this story with a happy result for the family and friends of a Tangier Island captain missing after his commercial crabbing boat, the Henrietta C sank in the Chesapeake Bay. A miracle is exactly what family and friends of the father and son on the Henrietta C are asking for in a prayer being posted all through social media such as this one: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Y&#8217;all please keep Capt Ed Charnock and his son Jason in your thoughts and prayers. Their boat &#8220;Henrietta C&#8221; has gone down. I have heard that they found Jason, and the USCG and local Tangier Island watermen are still searching for Capt. Ed.</span></h3>

<h2>URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED</h2>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&#8220;Prayers, please!!! A Tangier family is in urgent need of prayer!! A father and son (watermen) were washed overboard when the<span class="text_exposed_show">ir work boat sank in high winds this afternoon. The son has been rescued but the search continues for his father. Winds are very strong, making the search difficult. Pray that he will be found safe!!<br />
Lord God, you know exactly where he is. Please guide the searchers to him and let him be found safe! We give you praise for the safety of one and we praise you that there are others who are willing to risk their own lives and boats to search. Thank you, Lord, for your love and mercy to us!!!</span></span></h3>
