A newly minted Coast Guard rescue swimmer saved a man’s life just after a giant wave rolled the yacht he was piloting and threw him into the surf.
SEATTLE --
Kelly identified the man as Jericho Labonte, 35, of Victoria, British Columbia. Labonte is also wanted in British Columbia on criminal harassment, mischief and failure to comply cases from last fall, Kelly said. The yacht's owner, who lives in nearby Warrenton, Oregon, reported the vessel stolen later Friday, the police chief said.
They found the P/C Sandpiper yacht taking on water in 20-foot seas, meaning the height of a wave from the previous trough could be as much as 40 feet , Clark said.
