Wow, this is quite a rescue! A kayaker takes matters into her own hands and sets out to assist a commercial crabber from his burning vessel. Glad everyone is safe…
This video was apparently shot on January 31, 2018 near La Conner, Washington.
Quote from the video post on YouTube: “A fisherman was trapped on a burning crabbing boat. Hew wasn’t wearing a life jacket. He was in freezing water and he couldn’t swim from cramping muscles and pure exhaustion. Miraculously, a lady paddled her kayak out to the boat engulfed in flames. The fisherman laid on the back and kicked his feet to get them to safety. It would have been a grim day for him if the Kayak Angel wasn’t there!”
