A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued Tuesday two jet skiers who became stranded on an island off the South Carolina coast.

Coast Guard Sector Charleston received a report at 7:16 p.m. from a commercial salvage company that said two people on a jet ski were stranded on Morris Island, South Carolina, according to a USCG release.

The captain of the salvage company said he couldn’t assist the jet skiers due to unsafe weather conditions.

A Coast Guard Air Station Savannah helicopter crew that happened to be training in the area was diverted to assist the jet skiers.
