8/29/2017 – Boat in Distress

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to Pyramid Lake on the report of a boat in distress in the Windless Bay area. Ground units were able to get eyes on the boat and determined that it would occasionally go under power for a short distance, then stop. Marine 20 was launched, and upon arrival at the boat, determined that the subjects were never in distress, but were taking pictures of the clouds and enjoying a quiet evening on the lake. The signal mirror that was reported to have been used was most likely the lens from their camera.
