Footage of the rescue released by the Coast Guard shows Charles Gregory seated in the inundated boat, its bow dipping beneath the surface of the water, before rescue crews reached him.
The US Coast Guard rescued missing boater Charles Gregory after he disappeared near St. Augustine, FL. The water rescue was caught on video.
"We are pleased about the outcome in this case and I would like to thank all of our local and state partners who were heavily involved in searching for Charles and bringing him home to his family," Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville Commander Nick Barrow and the search and rescue mission coordinator said in the release.
Gregory was last seen Thursday night, the Coast Guard said in an earlier release, leaving the Lighthouse Park Boat Ramp in the jon boat - a type of small, lightweight and flat-bottomed vessel. His family on Friday evening informed Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville he had not returned.
