A Coast Guard Air Station Borinquen MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter crew rescued a boater from a life raft Sunday in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 20 nautical miles south of Puerto Rico. Rescued is Keith Mcpartlan a 42-year-old U.S. citizen from Fla., who was the sole passenger aboard the 40-foot pleasure craft Solamar while transiting off Puerto Rico.  The man reportedly abandoned the vessel onto a life raft out of concern that the vessel was in danger of capsizing.
