PORT ST. JOE - Five vacationers were rescued after their 21-foot fishing boat capsized in the Gulf of Mexico about 15 miles west of Cape San Blas in the Florida Panhandle.
A Coast Guard jet from Mobile, Ala., responded to a distress signal sent out about 10 a.m. Sunday.
The overturned boat was found with five men sitting on the hull.
They had radioed their coordinates obtained from a satellite navigation system.
The plane dropped a survival raft and the men climbed inside.
Another recreational boat soon arrived and picked them up after hearing about what had happened on the radio.
The men, all uninjured, later were transferred to a Coast Guard boat that brought them ashore at Port St. Joe.
The Coast Guard identified them as Joel Harbin Jr., of Byron, Ga., the boat's owner; and Jarren McNeal, Zeke Eisenacher, Greg Holmstrom and Shawn Confret, hometowns unknown.
